Are you and your pets TickSmart? Have you spotted a tick on your dog or outdoor cat lately? You, and your dog or cat can help monitor tick population trends and tickborne disease risk. All you have to do is share your tick and pet picture with TickEncounter! As a citizen scientist, your submissions will help TickEncounter collect data for our "Current Tick Activity In Your Area" application. You'll also encourage other pet owners to make sure their dog or outdoor cat is TickSmart and TickProtected!

By submitting images to the TickEncounter Resource Center, you grant TERC the right to post your image(s) on TickEncounter.org & it's social media outlets.
