How do you safely remove ticks??????
Try the vets or pet shop for a tick remover.

Any kind of oil ie olive,baby or vasoline. Smother the tick and leave for half hour. Then remove with tweezers by the head. There is also a tablet available from the vets that once taken will kill ticks and fleas within 2 hours, they just die and fall off.it's amazing stuff costs 30€ for 3 tablets each tablet lasts for 5 week cover. Highly recommended.
always used our fingers,as long as you get the whole tick out(the beak bit) weve never had a problem with any of our dogs.
