The ticks on the golden retriever were infected while playing in the wild. This is mainly because ticks are more common in dark, moist grasslands and wasteland. They may also be found in park grasslands and green belts. Most dogs like to play on the grass, and they are easily infected once they get close. When taking your dog to play in areas with lush vegetation, it is best to wear a repellent collar for it.

Treatment methods for ticks on dogs:

1. Apply alcohol to the tick's body to relax or kill the tick's head. After a few minutes, use pointed tweezers to remove the tick, pinch the insect from the mouthparts, and pull it out quickly. This method is the fastest and most effective, but it requires skill. If the operation is not good, only the body of the tick will be removed, while the mouthparts will still remain in the dog's skin. If you do not operate well, it is best to remove it. The hospital lets the doctors handle it.

2. Dogs can be given deworming shots very quickly. The bugs will not fall off immediately after death. It is best to wait for them to fall off naturally. Don't try to take them out in a hurry. Otherwise, the mouthparts will be left on the dog's body. Failure to clean them will cause skin inflammation.

3. Ticks are infected because there are adults or eggs in the environment that adhere to dogs, and dogs do not usually undergo external deworming. To clean and disinfect your dog's supplies and living environment, it's best to use an environmental repellent that kills ticks. Pay attention to cleaning after using anthelmintics for a period of time to avoid poisoning dogs and humans.
