Beautiful Dog

[hidendiamond]

followed your instructions and the tick let go just like you said. previously, i had watched a vid where a vet uses a tweezers. i would try that.1-but i don't have a tweezers and it seems like you run more of a risk of leaving the ticks head just under the skin.2-my dog is high energy so getting him to hold still while holding a rather sharp metal tweezers near his head or eyes seems too risky. turns out, my son was able to get the dog to hold still while i followed your directions.

Thx tons!

Remove a Tick with ease... The easiest way I found to remove a tick is take your finger and rotate the tick around in circles until it falls off. Usually 30-60 seconds. Dont twist it, just twirl your finger around it. It's like drawing a circle around the tick using one finger but keep in contact (touching) the tick while doing this. The tick comes out whole. Use no heat nor chemicals required. I got 3 out of 3 so far using this method.
