Oh no, a tick!
It's that time of year again, tick season has started. It's wonderful to take a walk through the woods with your dog, but if your dog walks through bushes or tall grass, he can pick up ticks. A tick bite can cause diseases if you don't remove the tick in time or incorrectly.
How often and where to check for ticks?
It is important to regularly check your dog for ticks. During tick season, it's best to do this daily. After your dog has been outside and just before brushing. You run your fingers over their body looking for bumps under the armpits, on the neck, behind the ears, between the toes, at the base of the tail. In short, everywhere... Moreover, you will see that your dog enjoys the extra attention.
How to remove a tick?
Use a tick remover. Definitely do not pull the tick out with your fingers. This increases your dog's risk of infection. Place the tip of the tick remover over the tick as close to the skin as possible and make a sweeping motion to remove the tick. You will see that the tick detaches itself.
With the Japandi Noir tick remover you can quickly and accurately remove a tick. Due to the sweeping motion, unlike a tick twister or tweezers, tearing off the tick's body is no longer possible. Because the tick is not squeezed, you run less risk of the tick emptying its stomach contents, with possible bacteria. Hang the tick remover on your key ring so you always have it with you.
