Ticks can be found in many areas across Canada, but they prefer to live in wooded areas, in tall grasses, and under leaf litter. They can also be found in urban areas—such as city parks and green spaces.
The main tick-borne disease concern in Canada is Lyme disease. Ticks are expanding their range in parts of Canada at a rate of 46 km per year. The risk of pets and people being exposed to ticks and the diseases they can carry—like Lyme disease—is growing.
Talk to your veterinarian about tick prevention for your pet. You can also book an appointment through Toronto Humane Society’s telemedicine consultations. We offer prevention medications that cover all ticks found in Ontario.
