Product Overview
Anyone who walks a dog through long grass ends up doing this eventually: finding a tick and having no proper way to get it out. This tick remover tool is a small metal tick and flea removal tweezer built for exactly that moment, so you are not improvising with fingernails or kitchen tweezers at the worst possible time. It is a purely mechanical tool with no chemicals involved, it works on dogs and cats, and it is small enough to keep in a walking pack, a glovebox or a first aid kit.

Important Information
-
General tick removal guidance: grip the tick as close to the skin as you can, then pull steadily and straight upward. Do not twist, jerk or squeeze the tick's body.
- Do not use petroleum jelly, nail polish, alcohol or heat to try to make a tick detach. These methods can make the tick regurgitate into the bite.
- Clean the bite site and the tool after every removal, and wash your hands.
-
Speak to your vet if the head remains embedded, if the bite site becomes inflamed, or if your pet becomes lethargic, lame or feverish in the weeks after a bite. This tool removes parasites; it does not treat or prevent any disease.
- Keep the tool away from children and out of reach of pets.
- The supplier notes that measurements are taken by hand and may vary by 1 to 2 cm, and that colours can look slightly different on screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on both ticks and fleas?
The supplier lists it as a 2-in-1 tick and flea removal tool. In practice it is most useful on ticks, which have to be removed individually; a heavy flea burden is better handled with a flea comb and a vet-recommended treatment.
Can I use it on myself?
Yes. The supplier states the tool is intended for humans as well as pets.
Is it safe on cats?
Yes, it is listed for cats as well as dogs. Cats are less patient than dogs, so it helps to have a second person steadying them.
How do I clean it between uses?
Wash it with soap and hot water and dry it fully before putting it away.
What is it made of?
The supplier specifies metal but does not state which alloy or finish beyond the two colour options.
How big is it?
The supplier does not publish dimensions for this tool. It is a handheld tweezer-style device sized to fit in a pocket or first aid kit.
