Removing a tick properly is important to ensure the head doesn't remain embedded. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull straight upward with steady, even pressure; do not twist or jerk. After removal, clean the bite area with antiseptic. Save the tick in a jar with rubbing alcohol if you're concerned about identifying it. Monitor the area for any signs of infection or redness. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
