I use one of these for removal of sheep ticks (£1.95)

 

 

and I clip their nails with these.

 

It might be worth investing in these items, I'm sure it would be cheaper than the vets, and they're dead easy to use

When i lived in Fermanagh, i tried everything but my dogs still got ticks all the time - and in the worst places, was pulling them off all the time (with one of those tick remover gadgets), it was a complete nightmare.

 

Since we've moved they havnt had one tick, it was the conditions down there they thrived in..

I count myself very lucky none of them ended up with Lyme's disease.

 

One of the wee buggers even attached itself to my shoulder too!!

Is there a reason you take it too the vet to get done?

[graham4877 1,181]

I've never had them on my dogs, also i've never had to clip their nails they just wear down with running about ,

In fact the only dogs we've had that needed their nails done was the labs

[MoChara 1,632]

Im the same, only clipped one of the dogs nails once and the dew claws from time to time, "road" walking or concrete walking keeps their nails down.
