ticks attacked saratov pets 724 times

Since the beginning of 2026, the state veterinary service of the Saratov region has registered 724 applications from owners of tick-bitten animals. In 529 cases, the diagnosis of piroplasmosis was confirmed. All animals were treated, according to the regional veterinary office.

However, in comparison with 2025, the number of appeals from pet owners decreased. The veterinary department attributes this fact to the increased awareness of animal owners about the importance of preventive treatments against ticks.
