Pet Parasites in the Northeast: A Regional Overview of Species and Risks

If you live in the Northeastern United States, you can enjoy the changing seasons and a variety of outdoor activities ranging from hiking in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter to leaf-peeping in the fall and birdwatching in the spring. And if you’re a pet parent, we bet your four-legged companion is a big part of how you decide to spend your time. 

But parasites living in the Northeast can create big problems for our dogs and cats. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can spread dangerous diseases and even cause severe illness and death.
