TICK INFORMATION.
Several people have contacted Catherine regarding ticks in Western Australia.
WA does not have paralysis ticks.
In the Perth area you just need the normal tick coverage for Kangaroo ticks.
However if you are travelling to Carnarvon or places north of there then you need to get coverage for BROWN DOG TICK.
