Most owners won't be willing to wade through this publication, and those that are willing will likely be obsessive/compulsive types who will call me at all hours convinced that their dogs have been exposed or infected. Could you dial it down a bit and present the high points in a brochure format rather than 9 PDF pages? For example, just say that there are diseases that are transmitted by ticks and that owners should have their dogs on a tick preventive. You don't have to list all of the tick-borne diseases. Thanks.
