A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

but once the novelty wears off and the
dog-related daily troubles kick in, you
may find it hard to cope with the
situation.

3. USE A PAIR OF TWEEZERS TO
REMOVE TICKS FROM YOUR
DOG
If you don’t have a tick remover, a

tweezers and place them in a bottle
of alcohol to dispose of.
