Ticks mean problems for dogs
Tick-related diseases are a major source of illness in dogs. According to an analysis of claims submitted in 2007 to the Veterinary Pet Insurance Co., Lyme disease is the top infectious disease in dogs for the third year in a row. Ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis, other tick-borne conditions, came in at No. 3. Together, these three conditions accounted for 47 percent of canine claims for infectious diseases last year. The top infectious diseases:
| 1. Lyme disease | |
| 2. Papillomatosis | |
| 3. Ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis | |
| 4. Valley fever | |
