California Dogs Face Ticks Year-Round — Here's How to Actually Protect Them

Is your dog really safe from ticks in California? Spoiler — they're not just a summer problem. In this episode, Mark Buzz and Anna Bugs break down the four tick species lurking in California yards, from the Lyme disease-carrying Western black-legged tick to the brown dog tick that can literally infest your house. They cover the diseases every dog owner should know about, show you exactly where ticks hide on your pup (between the toes — yeah, gross), walk through proper tick removal (and why grandma's Vaseline trick is actually dangerous), and share the year-round prevention strategies that actually work. Whether you're in San Diego or Sacramento, this one's a must-listen for anyone with a four-legged family member.
