Reddit reviews H3D O'Tom Tick Twister, Pack Of 2 Green

This is what I use in the unfortunate event I find a tick on me or a family member. It's also what we used to use when I worked in the Emergency Department, which was a recommendation I could live with.

I have one of these tick removal tools which resemble a mini crowbar. They work great and remove a tick (live or dead) in a matter of seconds with no stress on the dog.

NB. You don't use it like a crowbar though, you scoop under the tick's head as close to the skin as possible then twist so the tick is removed cleanly, mouthpieces and-all.

But yeah, as another comment mentions, practice feeling and fussing your dog all over so they become accustomed to having all areas of their body inspected and touched. Then next time your dog gets a tick, has a minor cut which needs dressing, needs de-shedding / brushing, washing, etc. you'll have a much easier time.

I have a dog and have tried pretty much every removal tool, this twisty style works the best, you can get them in the pharmacy - https://www.amazon.co.uk/OTom-02-3785-Otom-Tick-Twister/dp/B0089BOK12
