"I found a tick on my dog and I feel terrible" - if that's you every summer, Dr. Amber Da Silva has good news: it's not on you. She joins Donie Yamamoto to explain what actually drives tick and flea activity this time of year, why it has almost nothing to do with how careful you've been, and the two-minute daily habit that catches problems before they become vet visits.
In this episode:
Why tick and flea activity ramps up every summer, and why it's not a parenting failure
Where ticks and fleas actually come from, even on a short walk around the block
What a real, thorough tick check looks like, and the areas that matter most
The safest way to remove an attached tick
What to watch for with fleas, and how to confirm it fast
The three-part proactive routine that catches problems early
