 Tick Twister is great November 26, 2007
I think this is a wonderful product. Removes ticks with amazing ease. I live in the country and the wild turkeys can't keep up with eating all the ticks the deer and other critters leave on my property.
I can locate the tick, slip the Tick Twister in between the belly of the tick and the dogs skin and slowly pull straight out,(no twisting as the name implies), dab the site with a alcohol swab and the head of the tick has been pulled out each and every time. Blood from the tick isn't forced back into the animal, as it is with all other methods I've tried. This is truely a little jewel.
 Nothing Special . . . there are better products out there November 14, 2007

My last dog had both Lyme and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, so I am very concerned about controlling ticks. I currently have two dogs and a cat that are constantly getting ticks from playing in wooded underbrush and even going from walks along bike paths. I check them twice a day for ticks and always seem to find some. They are quite often still feeding ticks, which seem to attach more strongly than the full ones.
I've used forceps, another product called Ticked Off, and even my fingers as well as the Tick Twister to remove ticks. I would say that the Tick Twister was the most difficult for me to use and the least effective. As noted in other reviews, it does not work very well on dog ticks that have not finished feeding (which is when you want to get them). It is really useless on deer ticks, which are really tiny (I've had to pull those off of humans as well as dogs). It also isn't good for grabbing ticks that are still crawling around looking for a place to attach. Plus, my pets get impatient with having to sit still while I twist the apparatus and the ticks try to attach more firmly.
If you're looking for a better way to remove ticks, I would recommend Ticked Off. Its spoon shape makes it easy to remove unattached ticks as well as already feeding ticks. It really does work better than forceps style tweezers, but I find even those are better than Tick Twister. Fingers will do in a pinch, too. Just be careful not to get bitten yourself.
Tick Twister October 21, 2007
This is a fantastic gadget at a very reasonable price. We have removed two engorged deer ticks from our dogs so far, and the operation could not be easier. This is FAR better than trying to squeeze the tick with tweezers, with much less threat of compressing the tick until it regurgitates into the wound. Much less traumatic for the dogs too. We bought several and are giving them away to friends.
Where have you been all my life, Tick Twister? January 13, 2007
As the owner of two big dogs who like to romp around in the outdoors, I've wrestled many a tick in my day. It's always been a delicate operation with the worry of leaving part of the tick inside or giving the dogs small wounds where the tweezers dig in.
This tick twister works like a miracle: it doesn't seem to cause any pain for the doggies, and it pulls out the entire horrible beastie every time.
It's a great invention, and really affordable!
Excellent Tool June 4, 2006

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.
