The Original Ticked Off Tick Remover Three (3) Pack with Key Hole family Colors May Vary

I live in the Northeast so I live in Deer Tick country. Having dogs and kids around feel like I'm always taking a tick off of somebody or something this is definitely a great hands-free way of doing it does not hurt no tears the whole tick comes off great product

One two three and the tick is out! My dog is not upset and the tick is out. Easy to use with out upsetting my pet. Placed on my key chain for our outings.

I had one of these tools many many years ago with a previous dog, and knew I needed to buy another tool once I brought a new pup home (to my very wooded yard which has frequent deer visitors and frequent ticks). My new dog has very dense needle-like fur, which sometimes makes it difficult to part the fur to get the removal tool close enough to the skin to really get up under the tick to pull it off cleanly. Sometimes it takes me several attempts, but other times I am able to get it off on the first attempt. This works incredibly well on ticks on humans. Another reviewer complained about the colors of the tools, and my package contained two white and one orange, which works just fine for me though not exactly what was pictured. I don’t know that I need 3 of these so I will likely give some away. My personal approach is to sit with my dog with the tool on a paper towel with an alcohol wipe nearby. I remove the tick, place the tool on the paper towel, wipe my doggy’s tick bite, then wipe the tick off of the tool using the alcohol wipe. I am glad to be prepared with this tool, even though my dog is on prevention meds!

This is a good idea for tick removal. Using tweezers often results on squeezing the tick contents into the person or animal the tick is attached to and that increases the odds of getting an infection. Tweezers often leave pieces of the tick behind as well. This product allows you to get under the tick and pull straight up so you get the whole tick off without squeezing it. I've used it numerous times and it works well. It can be hard when the tick is flipping around since you have to get perpendicular to the body to get it to work so you just have to keep moving the scoop until you get it where it will work. My biggest complaint is the choice of colors. I pretty much use the light colored ones because it's easier to see the tick. I can't really use the dark colored ones so I feel those are a bit of a waste in the multi-pack. It's also a little harder to clean since it's plastic. I have a similar product in metal and that one is easier to clean, plus it's a little smaller. I would recommend having these or a similar product with you all the time during tick season.

Works great

Having removed many ticks from two dogs in Maine and Canada a few years ago, we found this to be the most convenient method. Unlike tweezers and some other tools, this does not squeeze the tick. Squeezing the tick is likely to force potentially infected material into the dog, so you want to avoid doing that. Another reason this is my favorite tool for an unpleasant process is that the tick ends up in the spoon, so you can easily dump it into a jar or something if you decide to have the tick tested (or you just want to finish killing it with alcohol). I now have one of these in my car, at home, and in my bag--because what you don't want to do if you discover a tick on you is have to go looking for a tick-removal tool.

We have bought these things for several years now and have given almost every dog person we know one. They work like magic on people and animals!

I cannot stand grabbing ticks off with tweezers. You know when you grab onto them and then their legs start going all over the place and you kinda want to scream?!? And then you finally get them only to accidents drop the tick in the carpet? I cringe at the thought of it and make my husband do it. But we have ticks here and this spring has seemed to be exceptionally bad so I went searching. I was skeptical of this… but reviews seemed good so I gave it a shot. I just removed 2 ticks in a matter of seconds!!! The scoop holds the tick so it doesn’t drop, and it was way easier and faster than tweezers with no pinching required! One was tiny… and would’ve been hard to get… this got it no problem!
