1 Pack Tick Removal Tool for Dogs Cats Horses Humans and Pets - Includes 5X Magnifier Tick ID Card and Tick Remover Pamphlet

Works great for removal and provides a nice and easy way to burn the ticks that doesn't destroy the tool.

No sure if you could put this in your wallet, basically a strong concave piece of thin metal with a tight V to slide under the tick and gentle over a few minutes pry the tick off. Ticks secrete a latex like glue to hold themselves on, you want to pry allowing a little time for it to peal, give way. The metal has to be very thin to get under the tick and this is, and I suggest you read the instructions well and not look at the photos of "use" in the ad as it's somewhat misleading, the photo seems to be taken as to show off the tick, not the correct use.Also, these devices are not 100 percent effective, I think I read they are rated at around 70-75 percent? This is still a whole lot better then what they rate tweezers or another method, basically nothing is 100 percent in tick removal.As for use, I tend to slide it in at a slight angle from the back of the tick at first, ensuring the back bulk of the tick is in the point of the V resting on it. I straighten it up as I slide it under so the whole body aligns with the device and slow over a few attempts pry it off. The method may vary I guess depending on the size? The ones we have dealt with have been fairly large.I had a small plastic case I put it in with the paper work. It might fit a large pill bottle for storage.Also added a small cheap $1.00 squeeze bottle with cap filled with alcohol to use over the bite, to,clean the tool after washing, to sterilize the hands as you want to make sure not to have touch or transfer any substance from a removed tick.

Haven't had to use, hope I don't have to

These have a forked shape that allows you to get under the little buggers without squeezing the body or head. Then you pull firmly out and usually get the whole tick. The vet suggested it for the dog, but I used this on the kids for years. I give them to family as stocking stuffers because they are so helpful and cheap. I carry one on every key chain too so I can remove ticks while still outdoors.

I am an Emergency Room doctor in Oregon. Tonight I used my recently purchased Pro-Tick Remedy device to remove a tick from a patient. The device is so simple, and so well-designed that I, and the patient and her husband, were impressed with the ease and simplicity of using it. Super. Easier than the tick pliers we had been using previously. I recommended that the patient get one, as she hikes in the Cascade mountain range. I plan to buy several more of these for our ER, and will certainly keep one at home for our own use.

Thankfully, I've only had to use this once since purchase. It did exactly as advertised and easily removed a tick. I took a star off because it's unwieldy to use on animals (specifically a dog) and presents a poking hazard, which exacerbates the situation.

I usually use a product called Uncle Bill's Tweezers (small, stubby tweezers with a sharp point) to remove ticks from my dogs. That works well, but sometimes you risk rupturing the tick if it's in a difficult position, and I don't like using anything sharp around my dogs's eyes. I've used this Pro-tick tool just a couple times, and so far it has removed the ticks intact. My dogs are trained to stay still when I say, "You have a tick," so I can't say whether this will be easy to use on anyone else's dog. But for my guys it does, even with their heavy coats. The reason I don't give full marks is this is a very cheaply made product. The tweezers I mentioned cost about he same as this thing, but they are a finely machined tool made of stainless steel.This is just stamped metal. You could even make your own, if you're handy. (One caveat: I don't think this will work for a deeply embedded tick. I'll come back and post the result when I have a chance to try it on one.)Postscript 1/2017: As I suspected, this is useless for deeply embedded tick "nymphs." You need to be able to get the tick's head firmly into the slot of this puller, for it to work. If your pet's skin is inflamed enough that the tick appears to have tunneled in there, you need another method of extraction. Still, this is indeed very useful for recently attached ticks of any size. Just be careful not to twist when you pull. Pull straight upwards, in one smooth motion.

Used this a few weeks ago in the Poconos. Daughters first tick, a very small deer tick. Luckily she noticed it early. It took about 3-4 tries to get it (they are super tiny) but I would have had the same trouble with tweezers with the added disadvantage of possibly squeezing/detaching the body with the head still in. The magnifying glass is almost necessary and a great addition with the smaller nymphs and takes up little space and no weight in a FAK. The information manual is very informative as well. For the price it is packed with usefulness.Anyone complaining about it not working well either needs to read the directions again and practice, or realize that sometimes the best solution still takes work.

The correct product to do the job required. What more is there to be said.Very good product at a reasonable price
