We’re joined by Andrew Cornwall to talk about a growing concern for pet owners across Australia — the rise in ticks and the serious risks they pose to dogs and cats.

Warmer weather, wetter seasons, and bush growth are creating ideal conditions for ticks, and vets are seeing more cases, earlier in the season, and in new areas. Paralysis ticks, in particular, can cause severe illness, paralysis, and even death if not treated quickly. Many pet owners don’t spot the early signs, so daily checks and fast action can save lives.
