The Ancol Ergo Tick Tool is a safe and hygienic way to remove ticks from your dog's skin. To use the tool, locate a tick by lifting the fur and place the tool against the dog's skin. Pull the tool back slowly and gently until the tick is trapped at the small end, then continue to pull until it is detached and can be lifted away. This ensures that the whole tick is removed without squeezing the tick or leaving parts of the tick in the skin, which can lead to further health issues. In addition to the Tick Tool, the Ergo range from Ancol includes a variety of tools to maintain your pet's coat, skin, and claws.
