I am currently looking up different tick remover tools on amazon. I have come across four different types and was wondering which one you would recommend?

Contech Tick Twister Pro

Ticked Off Pets Tick Remover

The Tick Key

Trix Ticklasso

I think it's easier to just grab them with your fingers and twist their bodies while pulling them out. It's what I did for a couple years during a really bad infestation. You can slip with a tool and it takes forever to re-find a tick in all that fur. I only caution that you don't yank them out because the heads can tear off and remain under the skin, potentially causing an infection.

I've only used the Tick Twister Pro and it worked great for me and is super cheap

I just use tweezers to grab the head and remove the tick then burn it after it is removed from the dog.

I heard putting Dawn dish soap on a cotton ball and placing it over the tick will make the tick back out on it's own.

I've never personally tried this, but someone told me about it a few month's ago.

We use a shotglass of vodka the same way as a cotton ball of dawn, in my alcoholic, camping, dog loving family. They back out and die everytime.

Love it. Can't wait to try it .

Yeah, we're pro any excuse to keep a bottle of liqour close by.

I have been blessed with a husky that has only had one tick in her entire lifetime. I have no idea how I got so lucky because she and I have spent plenty of time outside and in the woods. I've had more ticks than her...

Thanks for all of the advice. I will get the twister pro and key, but am def trying the dawn, and vodka!

Nicole- that is very, very rare!!!
