O’Tom Tick Twister – Simple, Safe Tick Removal

The O’Tom Tick Twister is a small but genuinely useful bit of kit every dog owner should have tucked in a drawer, first-aid kit or walking bag. Designed to remove ticks cleanly from the skin of dogs, cats — and humans — it works by twisting rather than pulling, helping lift the whole tick out instead of leaving mouthparts behind.

Unlike tweezers, the hook shape lets you grip the tick without squeezing its body, which is important because compression can increase the chance of irritation or infection. You simply slide the hook under the tick, gently rotate, and the tick releases.

Each pack contains three different sizes so you’re covered for everything from tiny nymphs to large, engorged ticks:

Micro hook – for very small ticks and larvae
Small hook – for standard ticks
Large hook – for larger, attached ticks

Lightweight, quick to use and painless for your dog, it’s ideal after countryside walks, woodland adventures or long grass explorations (a.k.a. every walk your dog chooses the exact hedge you told them not to dive into).

Why twisting matters

Pulling ticks straight out — especially with fingers or tweezers — can cause the head to remain in the skin. The Tick Twister’s rotating action encourages the tick to release naturally, making removal easier and cleaner.

How to use

Select the hook size that best fits the tick
Slide the hook underneath the tick, close to the skin
Gently rotate (do not pull)
The tick will detach after a few turns
