New York City is experiencing a severe tick invasion, posing serious health risks for dogs. Between March and May 2025, tick submissions to research laboratories surged by 217% compared to last year. A study revealed that 70% of surveyed parks now contain ticks capable of transmitting diseases. Climate change has led to warmer temperatures that create optimal conditions for tick reproduction. Ticks can remain active year-round, especially since they can thrive in temperatures as low as 36 degrees, increasing the potential exposure for dogs at all times.
Between March and May 2025, tick submissions to research laboratories increased by an astounding 217% compared to the same period last year, representing a genuine emergency for pet owners.
Columbia University researchers discovered that approximately 70% of parks surveyed now harbor disease-carrying ticks, a significant increase from three years ago when only 40% showed tick presence.
Climate change has created ideal breeding conditions for ticks in New York City, with warmer winters and longer autumns allowing these parasites to thrive nearly year-round.
Ticks can become active at temperatures as low as 36 degrees, meaning dogs are vulnerable to tick diseases outside traditional tick seasons.
