Vets warn that fleas and ticks can hitch a ride on furry friends even in cold weather (via WSBT)

The lack of snow and warmer temperatures has a lot of us heading outside. Many people are bringing their dogs to the parks. Veterinarians say ticks and fleas are still a problem — and this warm weather doesn’t help. Pet owners may not think their pets are at risk during the winter. Vets say the belief that snow and cold kills all is a myth. They look nasty in a jar, but a tick looks even worse on one of your pets.
