Ticked Off: How to Identify, Get Rid Of, and Prevent Ticks on Your Dog
While some ticks remain active during the winter, most types of ticks spend the colder months in a state of inactivity, circling the warmer days of spring on the calendar as their time to emerge and get back to their pesky ways.
