Anti parasitic medication, like "Frontline" and "K-9 Advantics" keep ticks off of dogs. But cutting down long grasses and trimming bushes and tree limbs keeps ticks from climbing onto the tips and getting on your dog when it brushes by.

Answer 5

If you find a tick on your dog/cat, you should light a match, blow it out, then touch the tick with the blown out match, that way it will let go of your dog's skin. Then you can pick it up with a tissue. After that, bathe the dog in a flea and tick shampoo.

Answer 6

Take a q-tip and put some rubbing alcohol on it. Rub it on the tick using a small circular motion. The tick should release its legs and will either fall off or can be removed with tweezers.
