If you do find a tick on your dog, it’s important to know how to safely get the bloodsucker off. To remove a tick safely, you’ll need these supplies: Latex or rubber gloves Extra lighting and a magnifying glass Tweezers or a tick removal tool. Use caution when trying to remove ticks that are attached near your dog's eyes, around their mouth, and inside their ears. If the tick is in an area that seems uncomfortable for your dog, don’t be afraid to call your veterinarian and ask for assistance. Grab the base of the tick as close to your dog’s skin as possible. Slowly begin to pull the tick out from your dog’s skin in a steady motion. Do not twist or jerk your hand while pulling the tick out. Once the tick has been removed, examine it to make sure all body parts have been removed from your dog’s skin. If the tick’s head is still embedded in your dog’s skin after the body has been removed, there’s no need to panic.
