Ancol tick tool

When using the tick tool, begin by lifting the fur to locate the tick. Position the tool against the dog's skin and carefully pull it back slowly until the tick is trapped at the small end of the tool. Continue pulling gradually until the tick is completely detached from the skin and can be lifted away.

This method of tick removal is more hygienic as it avoids squeezing the tick or leaving any parts of it in the skin, which could potentially cause additional health problems.
