Dr. Lauren's hot. Did she say something about a tick? Anyway, to the morons who think they know more than a vet, you do indeed pull them out with tweezers, as close to the mouth as you can get. You do NOT brab them by their body and pull because you will squeeze tick skank into the site.

that was a terrible video, everyone knows you should NOT do what she tells you as it will leave the tick's head and fangs in your pet, which can in turn lead to them getting disease. best solution: sufficate the tick by pouring honey over it, then you can get it out because it will be dead and the tick she used was clearly not attached to the dog

Hello, I just found 2 ticks on my 8mth old coonhound. I removed the 1st soft one by the old method of burning the tick to mske it backout with the fangs, and the second one I couldnt get her to lye down for me so I grabbed it while she was sitting up and it came out but without the lil' fang things. Does this mean it can grow back or is that an ole wives tale? Thanks 4 your attention. Peace Barbara

The tick the Dr. removed was not imbedded in the skin.

Hi! I am Dr. Lauren with petside.com. Ticks are something that can be a nuisance to both you and your pet. They carry diseases such as lime disease which can make your pet very ill. It's probably best to prevent ticks in the first place. You can do this with the topical liquid that lasts about a month or a tick collar which lasts about three months. If your pet does get a tick, I am going to show you a safe way to remove it.

It's a good idea to check your pet daily for ticks. If you do find one, you want to remove it carefully. What you should do is find the tick and then grab it as close as you can to your pet's skin. Then you pull it out so you make sure that you've gotten all of the parts. Then you can just take the tick and safely dispose it by flushing it down the toilet. So what you want to do is find a tick on your pet's skin and get a pair of tweezers. Then, like I said, you just want to grab the tick as close to your pet's skin as possible and quickly pull it out.

I am Dr. Lauren at petside.com, if you have any questions about ticks, or anything else, feel free to email me at DrLauren@petside.com.
