I myself did not pull the tick, drove the dog to the clinic. We even put a dropper ((
Yes, the ticks are very dangerous. So many problems are because of them in the spring, if you do not process the dog. We have one time so it was, now I strictly follow the prevention of fleas and ticks. In the spring and droplets dripping, plus the collar dressing (everything from the line is given ultra buy), I can even handle before walking. So with such protection, I'm calm!
