The spring and summer months are notorious for tick infestations outdoors that’s why it’s important to make sure your Beagle is well protected with a monthly flea and tick preventative. If you’re not sure if your Beagle is on a prevention program, call your vet. If you do find a tick on your Beagle, make sure you remove it completely. Ticks can carry life threatening diseases for both pets and people. If you need assistance, call your vet. Generally, ticks can be removed with a pair of tweezers or a tick removing tool. Use the tweezers to grab hold of the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull straight up with a steady and even pressure. Never twist or jerk as this could leave parts of the tick behind. Douse the tick with alcohol in order to kill it. For more information, contact your veterinarian Hinesville, GA or schedule an appointment at this website Coastal Georgia Veterinary Care.
