| I wouldn't wait a few hours to remove the tick. The longer they are attached the more chance of transmitting disease |

| The best way to remove a tick is with the Tick Twister. Most ways of removing them allow the tick to release toxins into the dog's body. The Tick Twister is what Ellie's vet recommends.
