A southern New Brunswick veterinarian is advising dog owners to be on guard for ticks even earlier than some might think necessary.
The consequences of the wet weather on P.E.I. this summer will extend into the fall, with Island outdoor enthusiasts hit with at least two bummers: muted leaf colours and an army of ticks.
