Those tick scoops are great! I have seen them at Pet Edge too...very cheap!
I agree, don't think you will kill the little buggar! They are indestructable! And remember ... they CAN jump. (I've never seen one though and I have seen a lot of ticks!)
I uses Advantix...it repels ticks as well as fleas. But my dogs also get the shot for Lymes disease (shots have risks so watch for reactions).
Springtime is especially tough for ticks, that is when they really come out, so check your dog from head to foot as soon as you get home from walking.
You just might want to become familiar with tick-borne disease and symptoms so that you can notice any strange changes because it is really hard to find ticks when you are checking a wiggly dood!
