Parasite Forecast 2026: What It Means for You and Your Dog
A newly released national forecast is raising awareness about a growing concern for dogs across the United States — including areas once considered low risk.
According to the latest data, diseases such as Lyme, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and heartworm are continuing to spread into new regions, driven by factors like climate shifts, wildlife movement, and increased pet travel. Even more concerning, experts note that what affects our dogs often reflects broader risks to human health as well.
With a highly accurate early warning system built from millions of diagnostic tests each year, this forecast is helping veterinarians and pet owners stay one step ahead — emphasizing the importance of year-round prevention and annual testing.
As the saying goes: “Low risk” no longer means “no risk.”
