Hiking with Dogs During Tick & Flea Season- Billings

Thursday, April 9 • 5:30 –7:00 PM • 1730 Grand Ave

Free and open to the public



Spring in Montana means longer days, warmer weather, and more time exploring the trails with our four-legged adventure partners. It also means the return of tick and flea season, something every dog owner should be prepared for before heading out on the trail. A veterinarian from Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS) will lead this practical, informative session designed to help you keep your dog safe and comfortable during hiking season.

This flea and tick crash course will cover the essentials every dog owner should know before hitting the trail, including:

  • Which flea and tick prevention products actually work
  • How to reduce your dog’s exposure while hiking
  • What to do if you find ticks or fleas on your dog
  • Tips for safely removing ticks and monitoring your pet afterward

Whether you’re heading out for a quick neighborhood hike or planning longer adventures in the mountains, these insights can help you feel more confident and prepared when exploring with your dog.

In addition to the clinic, guests will enjoy a few fun extras, including:

  • Giveaways and raffle prizes
  • 20% off dog products at The Base Camp after the event
  • Time to ask questions directly with a YVAS veterinarian

It’s a great opportunity to learn from local experts while connecting with other dog-loving members of our community.

Bring your curiosity and your questions, and get ready to make this hiking season safer and more enjoyable for both you and your pup. We hope to see you there!
