What's the best way to get a tick off your dog to ensure getting the head out?
Joseph Solano
Hi! When removing a tick from your dog, use fine-tipped tweezers or a tick removal tool to grasp it as close to the skin as possible. Apply gentle, steady pressure and pull upward with a slow and even motion to ensure the head is removed. Avoid twisting or jerking to prevent leaving the mouthparts behind. After removal, disinfect the bite area and your hands. Dispose of the tick safely. If you're unsure or uncomfortable, consult your veterinarian for guidance. They can also provide advice on tick prevention for your dog's overall protection. Hope this helps!

Yes, the above advice is perfect, it's so important that you are able to remove the whole body. Yuck, hate ticks!

Me too, and I hate when I find one that's been on a dog for a while because they are swollen, but sometimes until you can feel them when petting or cleaning your day...they suck literally
