Found a tick on your dog? 😱 Don’t panic 🛑 And don’t pull it off with your fingers either. If the head breaks off, it can stay under the skin, raising the risk of infection and increasing the chance of diseases like Lyme disease, babesiosis, or ehrlichiosis entering your dog’s bloodstream.

Instead, use fine-tipped tweezers and:

1️⃣ Grasp the tick close to your dog’s skin
2️⃣ Pull upwards steadily – no twisting
3️⃣ Clean the bite area with antiseptic and wash your hands

Ticks carry dangerous pathogens, so it’s imperative to of your tick and flea protection, such as SIMPARICA, which many South African vets trust. Learn more at https://www2.zoetis.co.za/simparica-for-dogs/why-simparica
