Removing a tick requires care to ensure you get the entire body, including the head, to prevent infection or disease transmission. Use fine-tipped tweezers or a tick removal tool. Grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Avoid twisting or jerking. After removal, clean the area with antiseptic and monitor it for any signs of irritation or infection. Consider preventative measures after this. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
