Why Tick Care Matters for Dogs

Ticks are common in grass, woodland and areas with deer or livestock, and are most active from spring through autumn. A thorough check after every walk is the simplest way to catch one early.

How to Check Your Dog for Ticks

Run your hands slowly over your dog's whole body, paying close attention to the ears, neck, armpits, groin and between the toes - ticks favour warm, hidden spots.

How to safely remove a tick from your dog

A dedicated tick remover, like the one in this collection, helps you take the whole tick out cleanly without leaving the head behind. Twist gently rather than pulling straight up. If you don’t feel confident removing a tick or if the tick is in awkward place then simply spray the tick with the Barrier Flea and Tick Spray and the tick should fall off within a few hours. 

Natural Ways to Deter Ticks

Herbal sprays and shampoos can help make your dog less appealing to ticks and support their skin and coat between walks. Re-apply after swimming or heavy rain for best results.

For everyday skin and coat care, browse our Skin & Coat collection, or see our Flea Products for year-round pest care.

What's the difference between the tick spray and Farewell Fleaz for tick protection?

Barrier Natural Flea and Tick Spray is applied directly to the coat and offers protection against both fleas and ticks on contact. Farewell Fleaz is a daily herbal liquid added to food that works from the inside, making your dog less appealing to fleas and ticks in the first place. Many owners use both together for fuller coverage.

Can the Nilaqua no-rinse shampoo help with ticks too?

Yes, the Nilaqua No Rinse Shampoo for Fleas & Ticks offers up to 8 hours of protection and is a handy option before walks in tick-prone areas like long grass or woodland, without needing a full bath.
