TICK DISEASE AND Pets
As a resident of Carlisle and veterinarian, Dr. Charles Bradley wanted to bring the story of tick-borne disease in dogs and 
cats to his fellow residents. This story is told and retold each day in his dog and cat veterinary practice. Every family has an experience to share and he learns more about tick-borne illness in people and pets each week. There is much information that is well understood and much that is myth and not applicable to animals. Read basic tick prevention tips from Dr. Barry HERE
