Don’t forget to keep your pet up to date on their Flea and Tick medications! Once in your home fleas will thrive in warm areas and bedding. Ticks lie in wait hidden in leaf layers and as a warm body passes by, they jump on for their next meal!
Tick-borne disease is a growing threat to both canine and human health. Ticks are parasites that attach themselves to animals and people, feed on blood, and transmit diseases directly into the host’s system. The disease occurs when an infected tick bites a dog or a human and transmits the disease into the victim’s body. All can have serious health consequences for dogs and many can have serious health consequences for people as well.
Lyme disease is transmitted by the deer tick or black-legged tick. Clinical signs may not appear until several months after infection. Lyme disease presents acutely as: fever, anorexia, polyarthritis, lameness, rapidly progressive renal failure, neurological symptoms, and laboratory abnormalities. Untreated it can damage the heart, nervous system, and kidneys. Chronically infected dogs may develop a life-threatening form of kidney inflammation and dysfunction, called Lyme nephropathy or Lyme nephritis
Canine anaplasmosis is transmitted by the deer tick or black-legged tick. Clinical signs can present acutely as fever, anorexia, lethargy, polyarthritis, lameness, and neurological signs. Left untreated Anaplasmosis can lead to serious health complications for your dog including respiratory failure, organ failure, bleeding problems, and in severe cases can be fatal.
Canine ehrlichiosis is transmitted by the brown dog tick and the lone star tick. Canine Ehrlichia infections may progress to the subclinical phase, lasting days, months, or years. Clinical signs can present as fever, anorexia, lethargy, bleeding disorders, polyarthritis, lameness, neurological signs, anemia, cirrhosis of the liver, and protein in urine.

Testimonials:
Morgan Benaquist – “I can’t say enough about Dr Lisa and her staff. After having a negative experience at another vet office, I stumbled upon Grandview and made an appointment, and now I would never dream of going anywhere else in the future. My furbaby was very sick, but Dr Lisa and her team were always more than accommodating, going above and beyond in every way. I was a frequent visitor due to his condition, and everyone developed such a great bond with him, always excited to see him when I brought him in again. On days I didn’t have an appointment, they were calling to check on him and see if there was anything we needed. Just an amazing personal connection/care that you scarcely find anymore. And although my situation ended in having to say goodbye to my furbaby, I can’t imagine going through this anywhere else. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you do. Our community is so much better for it.“
Elizabeth Poole — “Excellent staff, beautiful clean facilities. They made my princess feel comfortable and safe. It was not easy picking a new vet after I moved, I am so glad I chose this one!”
Debbie Helmbrecht Cordone — “Such a nice atmosphere and great staff! Everyone is so friendly and caring. It’s great to have you in such a convenient location.”
