To remove a tick, make sure not you don't squeeze the tick's body or leave the head in. If you squeeze its body or leave the head in, this can push blood back into your pet, which will increase the chance of them getting a disease. Don't try to burn them off or use lotion to suffocate them, as this won't prevent your pet from picking up a disease. Your vet will be able to show you the best way to remove a tick by twisting. A tick removal tool, which can be picked up at pet shops or the vets, can be used to twist the tick off. If you're unsure how to remove a tick, please speak to your vet first. Stop ticks from biting your pet by using a tick treatment that either kills or repels them if they attach themselves. Ask your vet for the best tick treatment.
