Tick removers and flea combs for dogs
Tick removers and flea combs: safe mechanical removal
A latched tick or fleas hiding in your dog’s coat call for a precise, unhurried gesture. Mechanical removal remains the safest method to protect your companion’s skin. AnimalParadise brings together hook tick removers and fine combs to act effectively, without crushing or breaking the parasite.
How do I remove a tick without leaving the head behind ?
Slide the hook of the remover under the tick, as close to the skin as possible, then twist gently without pulling straight up. This rotating motion releases the whole mouthpart and avoids squeezing the tick, which could regurgitate. Disinfect the area afterwards and watch it for a few days.
What is a fine-toothed flea comb for ?
Its closely spaced teeth capture adult fleas, eggs and droppings as you pass it through the coat. It is an ideal monitoring tool to detect an early infestation and remove parasites without any chemical, especially on puppies and sensitive skin.
Our range of tick removers and combs
- Hook tick remover : designed for twist removal, it extracts the whole parasite without crushing it.
- Fine flea comb : tightly spaced steel teeth to trap fleas and eggs with every stroke.
- Precision tweezers : ideal for tiny ticks or delicate areas such as around the eyes.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: Never coat a tick with ether or oil before removing it: stressed, it regurgitates and raises the risk of transmission. Immediate mechanical removal with a hook remains the gold standard.
