We found the best tick prevention for dogs, according to veterinarians, as well as tested some tools to remove ticks from your dog’s skin.
If your tick prevention strategies failed, or maybe you forgot to bring your permethrin-treated socks on your hike, and you ended up with a tick on your body, don’t panic. All you really need to remove a tick are pointy tweezers — but not flat-edged tweezers. That’s because you need to be precise. “Think of the tick as a bag of germs that happens to be connected to your skin with a straw,” explains Mather. If you squeeze the bug’s body with an imprecise tweezer, all those germs will be released through the “straw” and into your skin, which is gross. A pointed tweezer, on the other hand, will allow you to get as close as possible to the head of the tick, right next to the skin, and pull up at the connection point without squeezing the bug.
