Our puggle was found with a tick buried in one of its ears this morning. It was brought to the Vet, where they believed it to be a non-infecfuous American or brown tick, thankfully. It was non-engorged. Nonetheless, when I installed the "Tick" app, I was disappointed not to find any information specific to pets, such as our 5-Year-old dog. Ths app is from Switzerland and seems only to provide information for humans, and not pets. It would benefit the app's users if it included information for pet owners.
The map is not showing the ticks-places. None
