How to Remove a Tick from a Dog Australia

Australian dogs can get ticks. It's a harsh fact of life, and although you should always use a leading dog tick control product some times you will find a dog tick on your dog.

What to do if I find a Tick on My Dog?

If you have found a tick on your dog its important to get it off quickly and safely. Stay calm and don’t rush dog tick removal. Moving too fast when removing a tick could potentially create more problems, both for your pet and for you.

Step-by-Step Dog Tick Removal Instructions

Step 1—Prepare its Final Resting Place

Throwing a tick in the bin or flushing it down the toilet will not kill it, and it’s actually best to hold on to it for awhile for veterinary testing in case your pet falls ill from the bite. Be ready with somewhere to put the tick after you’ve removed it—the best option is a screw-top jar containing some rubbing alcohol.

Step 2—Don’t Do it Bare Handed

Put on latex or rubber gloves when removing dog ticks so you’ll never have direct contact with the tick or your pet’s bite area. Ticks can carry infective agents that may enter your bloodstream through breaks in your skin or through mucous membranes (if you touch your eyes, nostrils or mouth).

Step 3—Grab a Partner

You don’t want your pet squirming away before you’re finished, so if possible, have a helper on hand to distract, soothe or hold her still.

Step 4—The Removal

Treat the tick bite area with rubbing alcohol and, using a pair of tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the animal’s skin as possible. Pull straight upwards with steady, even pressure. Place the tick in your jar.

Do not twist or jerk the tick! This may leave the mouth-parts embedded in your pet, or cause the tick to regurgitate infective fluids.
Do not squeeze or crush the body of the tick, because its fluids (saliva and gut contents) may contain infective organisms.

Step 5—All that Remains

Sometimes, in spite of doing everything right, a tick’s mouth-parts will get left behind in your pet’s skin. If the area doesn't appear red or inflamed, the best thing to do is to disinfect it and not to try to take the mouth-parts out. A warm compress to the area might help the body expel them, but do not go at it with tweezers.

Step 6—Clean Up

Thoroughly disinfect the tick bite site and wash your hands with soap and water (even though you were wearing gloves). Sterilize your tweezers with alcohol or by carefully running them over a flame.

Step 7—Keep Watch

Over the next few weeks, closely monitor the bite area for any signs of localized infection. If the area is already red and inflamed, or becomes so later, please bring your pet—and your jarred tick—to your veterinarian for evaluation.

Remember, the best cure is actually prevention, so make sure you use a leading brand tick collar and leading brand topspot type tick control product. You can buy discount tick collars online here.

Is Scalibor Easy to Use? - simple application with one collar length for any size dog.
Does Scalibor Smell? - owners will not notice any smell at all.

Scalibor exerts best effect for the control of the named ticks 2-3 weeks after application. The tick collar should therefore be applied 2-3 weeks before the dog is likely to be exposed to infestation.

• Avoid cutting a dog’s hair for a few days before applying the collar.

• The collar is sealed in a sachet inside the carton and should not be opened until ready for use.

• Sometimes after prolonged storage the collar has a powdery appearance, which is due to release of a limited amount of DTM-TPP complex during transit and/or storage. This powder can be removed with a damp cloth prior to fitting the collar.

• Buckle the collar comfortably around the neck of the dog so two or three fingers can be inserted easily between the collar and the dog’s neck (this step is important because the continued release of deltamethrin from Scalibor depends on adequate contact between the surface of the collar and the skin of the neck region of the dog).

• The collar, if buckled too tightly, can cause irritation. Trim off any excess length of collar 5cm from the buckle and

dispose as instructed on the product leaflet.

• Check the collar every 2-3 weeks to ensure that fitting is still optimal.

• The effect of swimming, bathing or shampooing on efficacy has not been established. The collar should be removed before swimming, bathing or shampooing the dog because the active substance is harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms.

• In rare cases, localized skin lesions, localized dermatitis or erythema, pruritus and hair loss can be observed. In extreme cases of skin lesions remove the collar until symptoms have resolved. Wipe the collar with a damp cloth to remove any excess deltamethrin before reapplying.

Scalibor Tick Control Technical Details

Here is some more techical information on the new Scalibor for Dogs Tick Collar.

Scalibor - 3 Month Paralysis Tick Collar for Dogs

The paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) is the most dangerous tick species infesting domestic animals, producing a potentially fatal ascending flaccid paralysis. Found in eastern Australia, paralysis ticks cause serious morbidity and mortality in thousands of domestic animals each year, particularly dogs, most commonly in the warmer months when there is an abundance of adult female ticks.

Control of paralysis tick infestations for dogs in affected areas is best achieved by using a product that is not only efficacious, but also provides the longest duration of activity to improve convenience and compliance for dog owners.

Scalibor tick collars are a major advance in the control of paralysis ticks as a single collar provides control for up to 14 weeks, providing Australian dog owners with a convenient, long term treatment option for the control of paralysis tick infestations.

How Scalibor Tick Control works

The progressive release of deltamethrin from the collar is facilitated by a unique carrier process. Once the deltamethrin is removed from the outer surface of the collar, it is immediately replaced. Deltamethrin (DTM) is highly attracted to the excipient, triphenyl phosphate (TPP). Together they form a complex, DTM + TPP, which saturates the polymer matrix of Scalibor® and results in a regular release of the complex.

Under normal conditions, deltamethrin is continuously released by friction between the collar and the hair coat after it is fitted correctly to a dog. Since deltamethrin is highly lipophilic, it gradually spreads over the total body surface of the dog through the lipid layer on the skin surface. Scalibor exerts optimal control of paralysis and brown dog ticks commencing 2-3 weeks after it is applied to a dog that has not been treated previously with Scalibor.

Scalibor Tick Collars should be applied approximately 2-3 weeks before the dog is likely to be exposed to infestation.
