still be removed promptly.
Myth 2: Indoor Dogs Do Not Need Tick Prevention
Not necessarily.
Dogs can encounter ticks during even short periods outdoors.
Myth 3: Nail Polish or Petroleum Jelly Can Safely Remove Ticks
Not recommended.
Using fine-tipped tweezers or an appropriate tick-removal tool is generally preferred.
Myth 4: Small Ticks Cannot Spread Disease
False.
The size of a tick does not determine whether it can transmit disease.
Both small and larger ticks may transmit infections depending on their species and whether they are infected.
