Learn about tick diseases in dogs. Lyme disease isn’t the only disease dogs can contract from ticks. Ticks can also carry canine ehrlichiosis, canine anaplasmosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. These diseases are often mistaken for other conditions and cannot be accurately diagnosed without a trip to the vet. Tick bites on dogs are hard to detect, and tick disease signs may not appear for 7–21 days or longer after a tick bite, which makes regular screening a must.
