Next week, the Czech Republic is set to experience temperatures reaching +15°C, marking the official start of tick season. This is the temperature at which ticks begin their spring activity.
Dog owners should take immediate action as the warming weather sets in—now is the time to begin treating pets for external parasites if they haven’t already.
For humans, the risk of tick bites remains low at the moment, as most people are still wearing protective clothing and footwear. However, pets are at greater risk.
It’s important to note that the Czech Republic leads Europe in cases of tick-borne encephalitis. As the warm season progresses, residents should stay vigilant about tick activity and take appropriate preventive measures.
