Nineteen hours of daylight means the tick check window basically never closes up here

Ghost's still out and active well past what would be full dark anywhere else, which means her actual exposure hours are just longer overall than a dog in a normal light cycle would have. Adjusted to doing a check both after her main evening walk and again before bed since there's genuinely more daylight activity happening than I used to account for. Alaska summer really does change every part of the calculation, not just the sleep schedule.

Alaska summer really does rewrite every normal rule, doesn't it. Good on you for adapting the whole routine instead of just the sleep schedule.

Never thought about daylight length changing tick exposure math specifically, that's a smart adjustment on your part. Listing page here for anyone considering a Weimaraner: https://allinpets.com/pets/dogs/weimaraner/

Extended daylight really does mean extended activity hours, and extended activity hours means extended exposure, that tracks logically. There's a solid resource on proper checking timing worth applying to a schedule like yours: https://allinpets.com/blog/dogs/tick-prevention-for-dogs-62/
