The dogs are always on flea and tick meds. and I get my courtyard villa sprayed. So before you start telling me it couldn't have been caused by them, I do want to share with you that the ticks have been conquered after 2 long weeks and there has not been a recurrence since....needless to say I'm never going back....

So sorry for you and your dogs, I'd hate for that to happen to my dogs.
But in fairness, you have had a 2 year relationship with this establishment, and I assume no problems. I very much doubt the Pet Spa owners made a trip to "Ticks-R-Us" and bought a bushel full to infest the dogs in their care. Most likely they hitchhiked in on some other dog, maybe one that did not have an owner as caring as you. Could this have been spotted? Maybe, who knows. It does sound like an isolated incident on the face of it. I might also check with your Vet and ask why your dogs tick meds were ineffective in protecting them from this infestation. Hope it never happens again and Merry Christmas!
