Tick Bite Fever- Babesiosis

Tick-bite fever (Babesiosis) is one of the most common infectious diseases in dogs, especially during the hot summer months. This is a life-threatening disease, but luckily, it is also very easy to prevent.


This is Oreo. A 12-week-old pup got the worst end of the disease and required a blood transfusion. Lucky for him, his treatment was successful, and he is now enjoying his puppyhood disease-free.




The good news is that tick fever is almost 100% preventable by making sure your dog’s tick and flea control is up to date. There are many products on the market but your vet can advise you best on which product will work for your pet.
