💨 Abstract

As warmer weather approaches, dog owners in the D.C. area should be vigilant about ticks, which are prevalent year-round, especially in the fall. Ticks seek warmth and moisture, making dogs attractive hosts. Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses are common in the region, with Derwood, Maryland, being a hotspot for Lyme. Veterinarian Dr.
