Be sure to check your dogs for ticks after they've
been outside. If you notice any of these symptoms,
call your vet:
- fatigue
- fever
- lameness
- lethargy
- loss of appetite
Here's how to safely remove a tick:
- place fine-point tweezers around the tick's
mouth where it's connected to your dog's
skin - gently pull up until the tick detaches
- disinfect the bite site and tweezers and
wash your hands thoroughly (never use your
bare hands to remove a tick) - place the tick in a small container, labeled
with the date, name and type of your pet, and
contact your vet to see if the tick needs to be
tested
Here's what NOT to do:
- don't crush, puncture, or squeeze the tick
- don't apply petroleum jelly, nail polish, or
alcohol to the tick - don't try to burn the tick with a match, lit
cigarette, or hot nail

Are Swiffer Wet Jets Harmful to Dogs?
The ASPCA has investigated the rumor that Swiffer
Wet Jets can cause liver damage and death in
dogs. According to ASPCA toxicologists, "These
ingredients are safe to use around pets when used
according to label directions and would not cause
liver damage at product concentrations." For more
information about this rumor, check out Urban
Legends or Break the Chain. (02/06/06)
