Today I found 4 ticks on my dog's head, and tomorrow she is going to be pet-sitted by my grandma, who also has a dog. I don't want her to bring ticks into my grandma's house, but I don't know what to do! We brushed her really thoroughly and looked all over her, but couldn't find any more. We have no choice about leaving her with my grandma, so what should I do? Would a bath help? There's no time to go to the vet for a spray or anything. Maybe the four we found were the only ones there... I couldn't find anymore, but my dog has long hair perfect for hiding in. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please check these sites about carefully feeling all over the dog's body and removing ticks.
