Be on the Watch for Ticks

Dogs who spend a lot of time outside could be especially prone to tick bites, which can cause joint difficulties in addition to other health issues. To feel for bumps, rub your hands through the dog’s coat, ears, toes, face, and neck—basically all over its body—periodically checking for ticks. Put on medical gloves and sterilise a pair of tweezers if a tick has stuck itself to the skin of your dog. After pulling the tick out with the tweezers, place it into a small basin of rubbing alcohol and then clean your dog’s wound.


Though it sounds strange, saving the tick for a few days will help you should your dog show unusual tiredness, mobility problems, or loss of appetite. Then you can bring the tick to a veterinarian to be checked for diseases it might have spread on your dog.
