How to use (quick refresher)
Tick remover
- Part the fur and choose the smallest fork that slides under the tick’s mouthparts.
- Keep the tool flat, lift slowly and steadily—don’t twist or squeeze.
- Clean the bite area and wash hands/tools; use the fine comb to check nearby coat.
Flea & lice comb
- Comb against the lay of the coat in small sections (ears, neck, tail base).
- Wipe on white tissue; flea dirt smears rust-red when damp.
Hands-free waste-bag slot
- Tie a knot in the used bag, feed the knot through the slot until it catches.
- Clip the tool to your leash or keys and keep walking.
FAQs
Is this suitable for puppies and kittens?
Yes—use gentle technique and short, calm sessions. Ask your vet or groomer to demonstrate tick removal the first time if you’re unsure.
Does a flea comb replace treatment?
No—it's for detection and daily checks. For prevention/treatment, follow your vet’s advice.
Does the waste-bag slot fit all bags?
Standard bags fit; tie a secure knot for a reliable catch.
Note: “Safe” refers to manual tick removal when used as directed. Always follow your veterinarian’s guidance for parasite prevention and care.
