In this video, Instructor Shannon will show you how to take a tick off your dog. There are many different parasites that can pose a threat to your pet. Fleas, ticks, and lice, to name a few. All are blood feasting and all transmit disease. Fleas can transfer viral and bacterial disease to both humans and dogs. Ticks can cause all sorts of illness including Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Even if no diseases are transmitted, parasites can turn into infestations, both on the dog and in the house, in no time. There are commercial products you can buy that help you remove ticks. We'll use one of these tick removal products in today's video.
Alternatively, you can use a pair of tweezers to pull the tick out. The goal is to remove the tick fully intact and not leave its head in your dog's skin. Squeeze the tweezers on the tick as close to the skin as you can and remove by applying gentle pressure straight up. Do not turn the tweezers as this may cause the head to remain in the dog. This can cause irritation or infection. Be aware of any method that may cause the tick to regurgitate before releasing – things like rubbing it with cotton or applying soap work, but these methods will often result in the tick regurgitating before letting go and emptying toxins back into the dog.
If you don't initially get all of the tick out, don't try to dig it out. This can actually increase the likelihood of infection. Instead, watch the area closely for signs of infection (rash or irritation) and let your dog's body naturally expel the foreign object. If you see signs of rash, irritation or your dog develops a fever, see your vet immediately.

I’d suggest for all dog owner to have a tick removal tool. I live in an area that I don’t expect ticks and I’ve still found a few on my dog over the years. Also Ned is a gorgeous dog!
That’s a great suggestion, Avivamae! It’s always a good idea to be prepared for these kinds of unexpected situations. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Had my dog 10 and a half years in Dublin, ireland and today I found his “fur” st tick
My dog has a tick coller that stopped ticks but sometimes they do get an but it’s such a AMAZING dog!!!
I hope this didn’t give anyone else “phantom itches” while watching this 😉 If you’d like to learn about a systematic approach to checking your dog for ticks and learn about some of the places that ticks try to hide on your dog, then this playlist is for you: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7BBgLulherke0zHdTVBejKixVN1Y4KFk

Your a karen
No one likes you
So the tick digs his entire head into the skin of the dog ? That sounds so crazy to me.
why did you not show yourself killing the tick?
@Mohamedgabhrt Ali “you’re”
OMG so timely! We pulled 2 ticks off of Clover a few weeks ago. They had only been on there a couple of hours and weren’t engorged, but we were traumatized nonetheless. I found one BETWEEN the little furry toes! CHECK EVERYWHERE!
Oh god it must take ages to check every inch of your dog every time you go out?! 🙁
@scully Honestly, I don’t really do it every time but if he’s run through any grass, I’m definitely combing through every inch of fur
In my area you basically only get ticks if you spend to much time in the forest but there is like a small chance of getting a tick from you being inside
@affectivity is the pup ok
Me :i am 9 and have taken alot since my youngest pups were born
Shoot I just snatched it of my dog really fast
@Aviee B Vlogs 😂
That too with hands 🤣🤣🤣🤮🤮🤮
Oop shoot me too UnU
So did my dad the he dug around in the poor doggos wound and still missed it
Is it normal to have a small hole like a open pores? No blood or weird junk
Just found one on my dog the first time in 9 years. Didn’t panic. We carefully with a pair of tweezers removed the tick. You gave me some great ideas for aftercare, thanks! Still scary though!
I wouldn’t put that tick on my hand, better to put it on a paper towel.
Its easy to remove a tick, since your dog is so calm while removing it. (Tips & tricks in comments below)
@Heather M put in a solution of vinegar to drown it. Then flush it down the toilet.
I removed it all the time for my dogs, you can use an artery forcep with very narrow head. Its much easier and very fast and i would not prefer to use hydrogen peroxide to sanitize
skin. Forcep gives a very good grip
@Karen W @Heather M
I wouldn’t recommend that, since the tick might strenghten it’s grip on the dog..
Id rather use oil to drown the tick, cos oil suffocates the peasant..
My dog jerks every single time I almost get ahold of it. It is so stressful at times lol. Plus she has very short hair and it’s hard to part her hair. End up pulling hair out as well
I literally removed a Tick doing her method Today and it popped right off.. my dog was calm because I was calm just being honest 😎 oh the trick is PATIENCE!! You must talk to your dog!! Tell them to relax !! I used a cuticle trimmer .. I slowly grasped around the neck line of the tick, pull “slightly” just enough to get the ticks attention with NO snatching of course 😬 And in moments it will just let go while you’re pulling on it !! Just keep patient it will LET go 👍🙂
We did this with tweezers but problem is everyone was screaming because they were scared of the tick 😖
Samee and im 12
Falasteen Alnamrouti lol I’m 12 to
@Josiah Brown haha were the samee
@Josiah Brown haha 😄
Yep that happened to me and now my dog has another tick so here we go again
Trust me I’m grossed out, but I like dogs being helped so here I am
Dog: stop talking..just pull it out already!
Fr😂😂
Lol I just put on gloves, and pinch and pull lightly.
We found like 20 on my dog and took them off and then we went to the doctors and then got some 3 month medicine 😁
There’s just a tick chillin inside my pibull right now I’m finna take this out 😐
bro theirs a tick in my puppy, I’m tweakin right now 😪
Same
I look after a few strays in the village, and a couple of them have ticks; tomorrow I’m buying one of them tools and having them out.
Not me whos brother is taking a huge tick from my fluffiest and one of my youngest dogs
I almost got a heart attack when saw a tick 4times bigger than this one , that’s why he is barking so much
Awesome advice! I had a dog tick in my red heeler near the same spot. I took a deep breath and told Sydney we got this! It came out just like yours, head and all. Thank you for this video!
She took way too long to do that. The inventor of this thing takes a few seconds tho
Left side of brain: EWWWWWW
Right side of brain: Interesting
Same xD
Yea
Lol yep
😂but I hate them that a fking tick
Dog: “Once set you only need 3 seconds per tick to pull it out lady! Don’t wait for winter” lol
That dog is so cute!! Does anyone know what kind of dog it is?
Thank u 🙏🏽💯
