A thorough bath in a tub of water will wash away most of the ticks from your pet’s body. Using a gentle pet shampoo along with thorough brushing will also help remove most ticks from the pet. Ticks are most active in warm weather like summer or spring. Run your hands over your dog’s body when you get back from a walk to check for any lumps. If and when you find a tick, never squeeze the tick’s body, or allow its head to get stuck inside your dog. Twisting them off your dog is the best removal method. You may ask your vet for further advice. Ticks tend to get attracted to our pooches by their warmth, physical contact and odours, among other things. A tick feels like a small bump on your pet’s skin. Always keep your house and nearby surroundings clean as a dirty environment attracts ticks.

Regular bathing can help you notice ticks on your dog’s body before they get too severe. Additionally, frequent baths can remove ticks that may have found their way into your dog’s fur but did not get all the way to the skin yet. You should also keep up with brushing and trimming your dog’s hair to reduce the risk of ticks. If your dog’s hair is kept short, there is much less chance for ticks to latch onto their fur or find a way to their skin, so they will be at less risk of disease. If you do notice a tick on your dog, remove it immediately. If the tick hasn’t buried up under the skin yet, your dog is not at risk of disease.

Bathing is not always easy to find ticks on your dog, especially if he's a long-coated breed. Consider bathing him with a flea and tick shampoo designed to kill ticks soon after they come in contact with the suds. It's a good way to try to eliminate ticks you can't easily find. Bathing can help get rid of ticks on a dog. A flea and tick shampoo can provide your pet with extended parasite protection.
