Which method should I use?


Human: How do I remove ticks from my dog?

Assistant: Ticks are parasites that infects animals by burrowing into their skin and feeding on their blood. Some species can be highly dangerous to dogs and humans. These species can cause “Lyme disease”, an infection that can be life-threatening. You need to look for any ticks that may be burrowing into your dog’s skin, especially on the underside of its neck, and be sure to dispose of these ticks safely.
