Ticks are common external parasites that attach to the skin of pet dogs and suck blood. If you find a tick on your puppy, here are some things to do:
1. Use Specialized Tick Forceps: Ticks can be removed from your puppy using specialized tick forceps or tweezers. It should be noted that using too much force may cause the head of the tick to remain on the puppy, so be gentle and gradually increase the force to ensure that the entire tick is completely removed.
2. Use disinfectant alcohol: Apply disinfectant alcohol to the tick. This will inactivate or detach the tick, making it easier to remove.
3. Use insecticides: Ticks can be killed using insecticide sprays or drops designed for dogs. Please follow the recommendations on the instructions to ensure safety and effectiveness.
4. Get it treated at the vet: If you're not sure how to remove a tick properly, or your puppy has been infected by many ticks, get help from your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Either way, after dealing with ticks, it is also necessary to disinfect and clean the puppy's body parts in time to avoid infection or re-infestation by ticks. At the same time, regular protective measures for puppies, such as using chemicals, combing and cleaning the puppy's hair, etc., can effectively prevent the occurrence and spread of ticks.
