What we see in west county pets
- Ticks. West county’s woods, orchards and brushy trails carry ticks much of the year, including the western black-legged tick that can spread Lyme disease. We’ll help you pick tick prevention and check for ticks at every visit. West county dogs bring us more ticks than anywhere else we see. Check your dog’s ears, neck and toes after walks.
- Compost and fallen fruit. Moldy compost and rotting fallen fruit can contain toxins that cause tremors and seizures in dogs. Fence off compost piles and pick up windfall apples. Call us right away if your dog starts shaking after raiding the compost.
- Laguna de Santa Rosa and the Joe Rodota Trail. Wetland walks are a west county favorite. Standing water and wildlife can spread leptospirosis, so ask us about the vaccine.
- Wild mushrooms. Mushrooms thrive in west county’s damp woods in fall and winter. Read what to do if your dog ate a mushroom.
