"The tick twister came just in time! I had a tick in my head. My son used it & worked great!"

— Rachael

"I have Great Pyrenees with super thick fur. I have yet to actually get a tick off with this tool, as I either can't get my dogs to hold still long enough to hook the tick, or it gets caught on their fur in the process and I have to untwist it."

Bottom Line

If you have a calmer, smaller pet, this tick remover is a good choice. However, it may not be the best option for very furry or active pets.
