Quick & Painless As Advertised
Date: May 19, 2009
"I found a tick on my dog today and yelled "Eeek!" I've never had to remove a tick from a dog. I went on the Internet to read about tweezers and twisting the body of the tick. (Ok, I'm not touching that!) Then I saw a mention of Tick Twister. I found out it was sold at my local Petco and ran down to get it. (Salesperson was very helpful & reassuring.) It works as advertised. My dog is squirmy and hates to be poked, prodded, etc. He barely noticed what I was doing. You hook the tick in the 'crowbar' and twist it until the tick comes out. The tick started moving right away. (I wanted to faint.) I was able to just lift it out even through my dog's long hair.
The design of the tool kept it safely away from my dog and me. I was then able to trap it into a piece of tape without touching it. This tool is a miracle of design. I HIGHLY recommend keeping one handy in case you find one of these nasty critters on your canine pal!"

Great device simple to use
Date: May 12, 2009
"I have utilized this device with great results. I am only mad that I have misplaced the device. Online right now to verify that the device is available at my local store.
Will buy 2 this time just in case. I do not want my lil dog to suffer any more.
Great buy worth every penny, and the price is a great value and there are no harsh chemicals or metal cans / plastic bottles to get rid of, or fill our overburdened landfills."

"This is absolutely fantastic. Never seen such an easy way to remove ticks. 3 turns, 3 seconds, and the tick is completely removed – even the smallest. A real great deal!"
