Ticks are not contagious. A dog can only get a tick from another dog if the tick walks onto the other dog.
It is very unlikely, though not impossible, as ticks tend to have one blood meal before dropping off the animal to grow into the next stage of their life cycle. Ticks like long grass and woodlands where they quest for a meal by wafting their arms in the air to catch passers by. If one dog has a tick and the other has been in the same places they probably have one too.
Well this is a common case of parasite and host. The tick is the type of parasite that keeps its host alive but ticks still carry deadly diseases so the relationship is complicated, but for sure the dog is the host and the tick is the parasite, that does not intentionally kill its host in order to complete its life cycle.
The scientific name for the American dog tick is Dermacentor Variabilis.
a red tick is a type of coon dog
A tick gets fed but the dog gets killed. so its parasitic.
If you are very careful, and depending upon how deep the tick is buried, one way is to apply heat to the tick but not to the dog. Touching the tick with a burning cigarette might do then trick.
The relationship of a tick to a deer is parasitic, not symbiotic.
no i dont think so
It is most likely to be a tick, or a blood sucking vampire dog right next door you. ha ha
to remove a tick from a dog get a pair of tweezers and put them aroun the tick close to the skin and pull, however do not twist or pull too fast as this may leave the head inside and lead to infection, or yo can get anti-tick spray.
I think applying petroleum jelly should help. That may start to suffocate the tick and the tick may loosen its grip to get air.
