Oh they are gross. Actually the tick is sucking the dogs blood like a little vampire. I lived in the country for ten years and every year seemed to get worse and worse. It's the only thing I don't miss about living in the country.

Euw! No, I haven't, thank God. I've seen pictures though. It looks so unpleasant. My dog has never had any ticks, but i've bought various tick removing tools 'just in case'. I just hope I never have to use them.

I have seen lots of ticks before. We lice in the country and our dogs are always getting them. They latch on and suck the blood out. They are not really eating the flesh.

Yes, I have and I really feel sorry for the dog. It can't get the tick off itself most of the time. We should really check our pets often for those little creatures as they can make our pets very sick.

Hi cream97! Yes, I do once in awhile. I usually see one or two underneath its ears. We always know that they do have it when our dogs usually scratch their ears and when we checked it out, we will see a tick or two. Then we get them and squash it! haha..
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting! happy

It is sad to see an animal suffer from ticks. I know an easy way to remove them without causing more discomfort to the animal. Put a glob of liquid soap on a cotton ball and hold over the tick for 15 to 20 seconds. When you pull the cotton away, you will see the tick is now on the cotton, not on the dog. :)

The tick isnt eating the dogs flesh but sucking the blood, if you leave them long enough they will eventually suck so much bloody they just drop off. However this isnt advisable as they can carry some nasty dieseases dangerous to both dogs and humans. So the best thing is to remove them with a tick remover trying not to touch the tick. A good spray of lavender and ecalyptus sprayed before a walk will discourage the ticks as will ltting the dog chew a bit of garlic before a walk as they dont like the smell.
