No matter how many precautions you take, your beagle is going to get fleas or ticks every now and then
0:06
These small insects may carry viruses, bacterias, and parasites, and create some serious health concerns if you don't do anything about them
0:15
So, let's have a look into how you can remove these ticks and fleas from your beagle at home
0:24
To check for ticks on your beagle, run your fingers through their fur
0:28
If you feel any bumps, closely look inside the fur for the tick
0:33
Look for black, brown, or brownish-gray color insects. Ticks prefer to hide in dark and moist areas on the dog's body that is least exposed to direct sunlight
0:46
Some common areas you can find ticks on your beagles are around the eyelids, under the collar, around the tail, in and on the ears, and between the toes

If your beagle has an active lifestyle and you take them out for walks and to dog parks regularly
1:05
then it is highly recommended to check for ticks every day after you return home
1:11
Once you have spotted the tick on your beagle's body, it's time to remove them one by one
1:17
The first thing you need to do is get the necessary tools. You can use a pair of tweezers, but not the regular ones
1:25
you will need a fine pointed tweezer. You can even get a tick removing tool which is far more effective Apart from that you will also need gloves antiseptic liquid ointment container or Ziploc bag Step one select a time when your
1:45
dog is tired and calm so he doesn't twitch or move much. Usually the time after coming from a long
1:52
walk is perfect. Step 2. Run your fingers through the fur of a beagle, and when you feel bumps
2:00
part the fur and expose the tick. Step 3. Next, hold the pair of tweezers close to your beagle's
2:08
skin and grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Step 4. Gently pull the tick straight
2:17
upwards without twitching so that its head doesn't break and stays attached to the skin
2:24
Step 6. Put the tick in a container or a Ziploc filled with hot water
2:30
If your beagle is unwell, show this tick to your vet. She will examine what type of tick it is
2:37
and figure out a further diagnosis. Step 7. Clean the infected area with antiseptic liquid
2:45
and apply ointment. Disinfect your tweezers or tool and wash your hands properly to avoid any
2:52
infections. If you notice that your beagle has quite a few ticks on his body, then do not try
2:59
to remove them. Call your vet immediately and book an appointment. If this video was helpful
