If you find a tick on your dog, the most important thing to remember is that you have to act immediately. You need gloves, tweezers, and disinfectants. First of all, you should disinfect the area before getting the tick out.
Then, take your tweezers and carefully remove the tick slowly. You don’t want to hurry because you have to make sure that you removed it completely. It is very important to try to not break the tick. After removing it, you should throw it away in a safe manner and disinfect the area again.
However, you can never be absolutely sure that you have removed the entire tick, mostly because it is very small and the head could remain inside without you being able to see it. Furthermore, you can never know if the tick has carried any disease, and that’s why you should take your dog to the vet for a quick checkup.
