How to Remove a Tick from a Cat - Chemical Free

Outdoor fun for cats provides new adventures for both pet and pet parent. Cats can – and do – pick up ticks. They are most commonly found around the ears, face, neck, feet, legs, and the genital area.  Learn more about how to conduct a thorough tick check here. Cats playing in the natural habitat of the outdoors are happy pets. However, if they attract ticks, they may become a carrier for ticks transferred into your yard as well as your home. It is important that you perform a thorough tick check each time your beloved kitty comes back into the house. Ticks then become an issue for you and your family as they can attach and transmit tick-borne diseases.   Education and preparation are key in warding off tick-borne diseases. Learning about the ticks in your area, and keeping a safe, immediate tick removal tool on hand, will help you to mitigate the chance of transmission of tick-borne diseases, to you, your family, and your cat.

Forced tick removal methods, such as tweezers or matches, are unable to gently stun the entire tick, prompting it to fully release from its host (including mouthparts!). In fact, these methods may cause the tick to fall away, and move on to its next host.  There is one tool on the market that provides immediate, safe, and easy tick removal…. the revolutionary TickZapper!^® Read on to learn more, and order your TickZapper^® today!

Conducting a Thorough Tick Check

Performing a thorough tick check is vital, regardless of the season! By the time a tick has engorged itself on a host, it can look suspiciously like a wart or skin tag. Use your fingers to slowly and carefully feel for small bumps on your animal’s skin surface, beneath their fur.  If you've found white, gray, or light-brownish mass on the animal’s skin, check at the base of the mass, where it will be flush. If the mass is indeed a tick, you'll find the mouthparts burrowed in the animal’s skin, as well as four pair of legs, nearby.  The six primary areas to check for ticks, after outdoor activities, are as follows: inside of ears, between toes, under the tail, in the genital regions, around eyelids, and under the collar.
