Ticks Trouble

 TICKS...

Oo..This one I nicely remember, when my dog got ticks! It was such a task to remove those tiny Ticks from my dog fur. Those Ticks might be having a nice time there but me while removing those Ticks and my dog in all that pain while removing those ticks..nope, we weren't having fun at all.
If you don't know what Ticks are......you can see the photo below, or well I'll just explain it.
Ticks are parasites which sticks on other mammals, feed & live on them.
if you're dog or any pet every got ticks, you know how hard it is to get it out from your pet.
Well, if you don't know why it is so hard? Let me tell you...


These ticks go from host to host. They get attached to your pets skin & insert their mouthpart
( hypostome)  in the skin to suck blood. To remain attached some of these ticks also leave a sticky substance on the skin of their host. 
So when they attach & insert their mouthpart they also hold hair which makes it very hard to pull.
1st it is very hard to find in the fur and 2nd it gets even more hard to pull because they have grabbed the hair. Removing ticks takes a lot of time especially if your doing it manually.
So, if you have pets KEEP checking them on regular basis.
