Langley's walking trails, forested parks, and temperate climate provide incredible opportunities for outdoor recreation with our dogs. However, our mild coastal winters mean fleas and ticks can remain active throughout almost the entire year.
Ticks & Lyme Disease Defense
Black-legged ticks (deer ticks) thrive in tall grass and leaf litter across the Fraser Valley. A single bite can transmit Lyme disease or other tick-borne pathogens. Modern chewable and topical preventatives kill ticks before they can transmit infection.
Check Common Tick Hiding Spots
After hiking in Derby Reach or Campbell Valley, run your hands over your dog's ears, neck, armpits, between their toes, and under their collar.
