Grab OML RSS FeedOld Mill Town Homes, a community of town homes in Lynchburg, VA would like to remind you to check your outside pets for ticks. This winter, because it is so mild has seen more ticks than normal. Area veterinarians say the tick population is much worse than they typically see in the winter.
On Friday, animal hospitals around Lynchburg treated about a dozen dogs with tick bites.
It is thought that the mild winter is to blame because usually at this time of year, adult ticks are dormant far below the leaves.
As the temperature continues to drop, so will the number of ticks; and, unfortunately, the same thing goes for outdoor fleas, so make sure to check your pets.
