You do have to worry about Lyme disease.

They generally don't get that bullseye like they do in people.

And the problem is, is if they got the bullseye, it's too late.

So check your, if your cat or dog goes outside, if your dog obviously goes outside, check it for ticks around the neck, around the muzzle, around the paws, especially.

And it's very easy to pull them off with just a little wet Q-tip.

Well, I actually don't think there's much of a controversy, but it's important that people know about this.

And there are some veterinarians that are complaining about it, and I'm not on their side, David.

I'm on the side of the pet owner.

Ooh.

I know.

So this story has actually been ongoing back and forth.

It occasionally pokes its head for the last decade.

And it's about how you can get...

pet prescriptions from places other than your veterinarian.

And Ontario pharmacies like, you know, regular human pharmacies are catering to pet owners more and more.

So I'm able to write a prescription.

to any sort of human pharmacy and Fluffy Cooper, Tomato Cooper needs his- Tomato Keg.

Tomato Keg.

Needs his dermatitis medication and I can write those prescriptions.

And the pharmacists are saying this can reduce costs.
