more quickly.
This is why removing an attached tick as soon as possible is recommended.
How to Check Your Dog for Ticks
After taking your dog outside—especially in wooded or grassy areas—perform a careful tick check.
Pay particular attention to:
- The ears
- Face
- Neck
- Around the eyes
- Under the collar
- Armpits
- Belly
- Between the toes
- Around the tail
Run your fingers through the dog’s fur and look for small bumps or unusual dark spots.
Regular checks are especially important during periods when ticks are active in your area.
