Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| 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

| 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 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. |

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. |

| 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... |
