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.

We are seeing a lot of ticks atm so please be aware and check your pets and speak with your vet about preventatives. We have had 1 client dog with a tick, a large tick on our indoor and garden only cat and just found one on Odin (likely from sniffing bushes at Scarborough mere). Make sure to have a tick remover at home ready for safe removal.
