I can not believe she got ticks at the groomers. I have never heard of such a thing but that is not good. The thing is, there are products, such as Frontline, that will kill the ticks. But you will still have to manually remove them. They do not release the mouth parts and fall off even when they are dead.

Essential Tools for removal include fine-tipped tweezers or a tick removal tool, gloves, and antiseptic solution or soap and water. Using tweezers or a tick removal tool, grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible, and with steady, even pressure, pull the tick out slowly, don’t pull straight up, you need to gently twist to ensure the head is removed. After removal, clean the bite area and your hands with antiseptic or soap and water.
