There may be cases where you are sieving through your Dog's Coat and spot a one or two tick. This could be that the tick has just attached itself and have not began to lay any eggs yet. Instead of rushing out to go by a gallon dog flea and tick remover, you can simply remove the tick yourself and then monitor the animal for any infestations. So removing the Dog tick is fairly simple but delicate. Here are the basic steps in simple tick removal from your dog.

Items needed to remove tick

Tweezers

  • A tweezers is one tools you can use to remove ticks that is latched to the Dog's skin. The tweezers is able to actually grip the tick at the right area for easy removal. Other than a tweezers, you can actually purchase a tick remover tool.

Cloth with mild rubbing alcohol

  • Once you remove the tick, you want to ensure that the area you removed the tick from is now germ free. pour less than a quarter bottle of rubbing alcohol into a bottle and add about half cups of water. This mix will not burn the skin of your pet and will help to kill any germ left by the tick.

Step 2
Get your tweezers and use the tip of the tweezers to hold the head of the tick. If the tick has been feeding, his body will be swollen with blood suck from your dog. Do not try and remove the tick by gripping and pulling on the blood filled body as this will cause the tick body to burst and spilling of the blood.

Step 3
Gently Pull with an upward movement. and the tick should be pulled off. If the tick got broken during the pull. Do not leave any portion of the dead tick on the animal as this may cause infections or Lyme disease.

Step 4
Use the cloth with the diluted medicated alcohol to wipe the area where the tick was attached. Your dog is now tick free and should be wagging his tail in appreciation.


If you are unable to use the tweezers properly or don't have a tweezers, there are other products available to easily remove ticks from dogs.  The Tick Key is one of my favorites as i never loose it or forget where it is placed as it is attached to something important.....my house key!

If your furry family member spends maximum time running in the yard or outside of the home, then he will possibly meet with ticks. These small beasts or freeloaders can be harmful and if left unnoticed can become killing for your beloved dog. By running your fingers through your dog's fur, you can easily know whether your four-legged friend is attacked by these external parasites or not. If you feel any bumps and lumps, that no doubt, your dog has already possessed by the ticks. You can remove these ticks with the help of a fine-pointed tweezers. By using special medicated shampoos, you can keep your dog safe from tick attacks. Still, if you find any difficulty, you can take the help of a certified vet without any hesitation.

Hi Louis, Dogs will catch ticks especially if they are outdoor dogs. I can't begin to tell you how much yard tick sterilization I have been through. I have used a host of Shampoos. Some good, others simply needs to see the trash can. It is really quite easy to remove the ticks with a tweezers or a tick remover.

Thanks for your input.
