TickSentry helps you check for ticks on yourself, your family, and your pets, before a small problem becomes a big one. QUICK LIVE CHECKS Point your camera and let Live Scan highlight areas on the live preview that are worth a closer look. GUIDED CHECKS FOR DOGS AND CATS Follow a simple, region-by-region routine built for pets, and pick up right where you left off if you're interrupted. PHOTO IDENTIFICATION Found something? Choose or take a photo, crop it the way you want, and get a structured result: likely species, key features, confidence, and clear next steps. TICK SIGHTINGS MAP & SEASON INFO Browse a map of reported tick sightings near you and around the world, and see when tick activity typically picks up in your region. LEARN AS YOU GO Read straightforward guides on safe removal, common mistakes to avoid, what a bite can look like, repellents, and more. TickSentry gives visual guidance, not a medical diagnosis. It can't rule out a tick and doesn't replace a vet or doctor. FREE TO START, UPGRADE FOR MORE Try TickSentry with a limited number of free scans, guided checks, and identifications.
