There are many different ways to remove a tick and oil is one of them, but it isn't the best way to do it. You can either take your dog to a vet and have them take the tick out, or take a pair of tweezers (this is a two man job) one holding the dog as still as possible, and gently put the tweezers around the body of the tick and slowly pull straight out (DO NOT GO COUNTER-CLOCKWISE!) Be sure the head of the tick is still intact and if not then you will have to take your dog directly to the vets. Dogs generally get ticks around their nose area, top of the head and behind the ears, but it's mostly around the nose area. When my husband and I go camping where there are trees and bushes we not only brush our own hair and check each other out for ticks, but we do the same for our dogs and cat. DO NOT pull the tick straight out with tweezers! By grasping a tick with tweezers you can cause infected fluids to be pushed into your pet resulting in possible illness such as weils. You can take the dog to the vet and they'll remove it for you but you can also get really good tick picks from vets or pet shops which allow you to remove the tick yourself. Also dogs can get ticks anywhere on their body, mine is particularly prone to getting them in her armpits.
