The tick season has started along with the fantastic weather we’ve had in April this year.
We have taken the necessary precautions, which means vaccination against TBE for me and for Dempsey, it’s unfortunately Frontline (spot-on treatment ) that applies, because all alternative methods we have tested don’t work as intended.
A long-haired outdoor cat who loves life in the woods can present some challenges, and one of them is that our house isn’t tick free zone during the summertime.
By combing Dempsey when he comes in from his adventures in the wild, I get hold of most small beasts before they start to feed on the cat or get too attached to me.
Last year we caught and killed 385 ticks. This year’s statistics will be regularly updated and can be seen here
Utroligt 😮
Ja faktisk og nu kommer der regn i de nærmeste dage, så vi må se om det får antallet af tæger, han har med hjem, til at eksplodere.
