Ticks can transmit various diseases, making their prompt and proper removal important. To remove a tick, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure; avoid twisting or jerking, as this can leave mouthparts embedded. After removal, clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Monitor the area for signs of infection or rash. If your dog shows any signs of illness, contact your vet. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
