My dog has 3 ticks on her, whats the best way of getting rid of them?

The safest & most successful method I know is to put a thumbnail sized blob of vaselin totally covering the tick, leave for about 10/15 mins and then wipe away with a tissue, the tick will have suffocated & can be removed without leaving any part behind. Tweezering often leaves the head under the skin & can cause infection.
I hope this helps you.

> the tick will have suffocated & can be removed without leaving any part behind

Can I just add that, if using a tick remover - don't forget to unscrew them anticlockwise

Whats a tick remover look like?

I have tried using vasaline but the tick wont come away, do u just pull hard, i dont want to leave the head behind.

p.md you a link

You shouldn't use vaseline or any other substance as it can cause the tick to regurgitate into the dog. The safest way to remove them is to use a tick remover.

Have you got it out? We used tweezers & vodka to sterilize the area, give it a good pull & check the tick when it's been removed to see if the head is still is tact.  I don't think the ones that were on Molly had been there very long so they were pretty easy to remove.

I use a tick twister - there's nothing on the packet that says it matters which way you twist, what's the logic behind that?
