Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tick Twister
Customer Review: Easy to Use
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found this product easy to use on both large and small ticks on my dogs. In fact I purchased an extra one and took it to the pediatrics clinic I work at. I recently used it to remove a deer tick from behind a child's ear. It came off easily and in one piece much to the relief of the mother.Customer Review: Excellent Tool

My wife and I and our dog spend much of our freetime outdoors. This is the best tool I've ever seen for removing ticks cleanly and easily. No more pulling wads of dog hair with each tick and when you get a tick it pops them out in seconds including the head. If you ever have to deal with Ticks this is the tool to do the job.Customer Review: Great product-great price-SO easy to use!

I have a big tick problem here in South Georgia and continually find ticks on my beagle, but never on my lab. I researched how to remove them and only found the tweezer/match/alcohol procedure, which I really didn't want to do. After much more research I found the Tick Twister noted in different articles. As the articles stated I tried to find them locally at my area veterinarians (I called over 20) and pet stores and no one had ever heard of them & some acted/looked at me like I was crazy for even suggesting something like this product existed. Even the vets said that they just use tweezers and they'd remove them for a small price. I found them here & ordered 2 of them immediately and I'm so glad I did. They are much better than trying to get a tick out with tweezers and no fear of squeezing the tick thus infecting the person or pet. The Tick Twister is a great tool, although it took a moment to get the hang of it it then only took about 2.5 seconds to get the tick out. This time my dog didn't whimper :) I just wish all the vets offices & pet stores around here carried them. Thank you so much for a great product*****

I had the tick twister and lost it.....and I looked all over for it because my horse had a tick never did find it so I used my tweezers.....What a joke !!!I got online and ordered 2 right away because nothing works as well or easy as this does. It works on people and animals I love them and wont be without it.Customer Review: Much easier than trying to pry a tick out with tweezers - good price too

This little gadget does actually work most of the time. My Vet charges $8 each for this and he can't keep them on the shelves. I can't say that the device is perfect, but it sure beats trying to get those things off any other way.
It works best when the tick is engorged (and looking like an ugly grey raisin). If the tick is still feeding and not yet fully engorged, it's a little bit harder to get off. However, even noting that, most of the time when you find a tick on your dog, it's either not bitten them yet or, sadly, has already had a feast.
The little prong device is good at sliding around the tick so that when you apply pressure, you release the whole tick and don't leave the mouth embedded in your darling doggie's neck or body. It is much better than using tweezers, a match head (heaven forbid!) or rubing alcohol.
I suggest that you keep one of these in your pet First Aid kit and also carry one with you when you go to the Dog park. it might not even be a bad idea to keep one in the car. This is the kind of device you will want to have multiples of. Buy several at once and save on shipping. You may not think you need one now, but Tick season is just around the corner. The first time you use this, you'll see the genius of it.
