Handy info regarding ticks from our lovely friend and dog trainer Rob!
🧪 BREAKING BARK: THE TICK EPISODE
“lets learn to remove… ticks.”
✅ THE CLEAN REMOVAL PROTOCOL
(No half measures… but maybe a few dad jokes.)
ASSEMBLE YOUR KIT
Gloves. Tick tool. Container.
This isn’t a kitchen raid—you need the right gear, not vibes.
TARGET THE HEAD
Right at the skin. Close and personal.
We’re removing a tick, not giving it a massage.
PULL. SLOW. DRAMATIC.
Straight up. No twisting.
If you hear yourself saying “YOLO”… stop immediately.
SECURE THE EVIDENCE
Into a clear container it goes.
Congrats, you now own the world’s worst collectible.
CLEAN THE SCENE
Disinfect the area.
Leave it cleaner than a crime scene after a montage.
WASH YOUR HANDS
Thoroughly. Like you just handled raw chicken… because honestly, same energy.
❌ AMATEUR HOUR (DON’T BE THAT GUY)
USING FIRE 🔥
What are we doing—BBQing the dog?
Absolutely not.
WEIRD HOME REMEDIES
Petroleum jelly, nail polish, alcohol…
This isn’t a spa day for the tick.
TWISTING IT
It’s not a bottle cap.
You twist, it breaks—now you’ve made a sequel nobody wanted.
SQUEEZING THE BODY
Don’t squish it.
That’s how you turn a small problem into a “call the vet immediately” situation.
IGNORING SYMPTOMS
Fever, lethargy, lameness…
Your dog’s not being “dramatic”—pay attention.
📞 CALL THE PROFESSIONALS
When in doubt, your vet = the real Heisenberg of this operation.
🧠 FINAL WORD
“Stay out of my territory… ticks.”
Use prevention. Stay one step ahead.
