Description
The right way to remove a tick from a dog fits in one sentence: grasp it flush with the skin and pull it out with a steady motion, without crushing it or applying anything first. That takes a fine tool that slides under the tick without squeezing its engorged body. That is what this tick remover does: a stainless steel rod ending in a small fork.
Part the fur, slide the fork under the tick against the skin, then pull gently and steadily. It is 12 cm long, weighs 25 g and fits in a walking kit. Stainless steel can be cleaned and disinfected after each use.
Good to know: on a very small tick (larva, nymph), the fork may be slightly wide; very fine-tipped tweezers are then the alternative. The tool does not replace tick prevention, nor a vet’s opinion if your dog shows fever, lethargy or spreading redness after the bite.

Frequently asked questions
Should I twist or pull?
Pull steadily, without jerking. The recommendations cited in our guide advise against twisting with tweezers and against putting anything on the tick first.
Does it work on a cat?
The motion is the same, but our advice and shop here concern dogs; for a cat, ask your vet for the right method.
