I know the title of this post does not seem to be all that health related, however having a healthy dog can ensure that you keep active with daily walks, tug of war, etc. So here is a quick tip to keep your K9 healthy and tick free:
1. Simply make the tick dizzy and twist it in a circle for about 2 minutes or less. Try and be patient and keep twisting.
2. The tick should come out on its own after this time.
I found it useful not to use tweezers and pull it out as it can sometimes leave the head of the tick in the dog.

I'll try that the next time Jubilee gets a tick! Not too often in Florida, but she got a lot in Missouri and Illinois!
