Something else to consider .... when I first moved to The Villages 4 1/2 years ago, my vet told me to keep my dogs away from the pine straw, as it is a prime location for them to pick up ticks. We never saw pine straw as bedding before, not even in Tampa where we lived for 7 years prior. So, if the OP had any fresh pine straw recently layed or if Village Pet Spa had put down pine straw possibly around where the dogs go out, that could be the cause.
So happy your two are doing fine. As I am sure you are aware, keep an eye out for any unusual health issues or blotchy skin rash, as ticks spread lyme disease. Check yourself also.
