This is what I use. Unfortunately, ticks are everywhere already in Georgia and I've already removed one from Lucy. This little gadget is GREAT!

Thanks - I'm going to try and find this one - Petco can't keep the other one on on the shelf. Otherwise, I'll order one on line.

Yup - I have this product and yesterday I had to use it for the first time - WOW is all I can say...I was VERY impressed with this tool.

TJ had a tick on his neck yesterday. I believe it was a "Dog Tick" and the Tick Twister got it off with 1 swipe - and then I flushed it

I hate ticks....I have already come across 3 on my maltese in the last week. Thankfully our yorkie Buddy has not had any, although it was a close call last night when I found one crawling on me...and then it quickly crawled under Buddy. I picked Buddy up and found the tick hiding under him. Are there any proven natural remedies that we can give to help deter ticks? Someone said something about garlic, but I thought that was poisonous to the furbabies.
