can this be used to comb ticks off of dog fur too?

Sadly, No. The teeth are close together to get the smallest little flea buggers!! It would just pull on the skin too much for Ticks & cause pain.

I am not sure about ticks but it works great for fleas, the fleas get stuck in between the two rows in the comb so you get more than one at a time. I would assume it should work for ticks as well but I am not positive.

If the ticks aren't stuck to their skin already I would say yes. Personally I've never had to get a tick off my dog (knock on wood) but I'd say if you angle it a certain way you'd be able to get them off.

Youch! I know this was asked a while back, but it just saw this question. If a tick is attached, you would want to smother it. We used to use clear nail polish if the tick is not close to the pet's eyes and would have to keep a close eye out for licking until it's dry and the tick is dead. You definitely don't want to leave any part of a tick behind!!! But just loose and out in the fur? Absolutely a resounding yes!

I don't think so, because it needs to be rubbed into fur near the skin. Because it works on the dander which is on the scalp. Also on face and tail area. Spraying would just put a mist on the fur,

See the other answer. I used what I bought for treating wildlife infested with ticks. My biggest problem was getting it onto the animals.

Hi, no I don't think it kills ticks its just for fleas/Lice. I'm not sure if you can get one that kills fleas and ticks you may have to get two different ones , I hope this helps

Yes this can be used on dogs, cats, just about any pet accept for a bug/insect (they will skip town because of this stuff lol). It will make your dogs coat soft and shine.

My critters are not exposed to tick areas so I don't know. It does a great job on flea destruction. CC

I only used it when going for walks in a nature trail. Stopped using it because dog came home with ticks. works on some dogs, doesn't work on others

Absolutely, this works on medium-short fur to long fur. I use it on my labs and my friend used it on her great pyrenees dogs. We both love it and it works great.

I have not tried this, but from my research it does not work well if at all. Ticks are too potentially serious to mess with a theory. My advice, stick to something tried and true. The dog would smell nice, but the risks are too great to justify my trying it.

I imagine it would. You don't have to push down or apply any pressure so it's more like "petting". You can use the Furminator with slow strokes. Worth a try because I imagine your dog has quite an undercoat!

Yes---we have used it on our long haired Golden and a short haired lab and it worked equally well on both dogs.

I don't think so... I could be mistaken but it just seems to grab the loose fur instead of just brushing through it like regular brushes..then again I'm not for certain.

Someone from my group said it should be good for ticks...treatment and prevention. I have not used it for this purpose myself.

You can use it as long as you brush the Pom out well first with a good slicker brush. The comb is used to make certain the brushing was done correctly & there are no mats on the dog.

Yes! This is how it should work. If you did read my review it does not work! Ticks on my dogs from the start and fleas after about 2 month. Never again - waste of money! My dogs did not swim or get bathed. Collar was put on correctly and never removed.... just did not do what it claims to do!

This works very well on my cats and some of them have very thick fur. Most fleas congregate around the head and rear areas of animals where the fur is not as thick. I would have to say that if you want to catch as many fleas as possible I would use the extra fine comb and just take your time.

I really don't know because I used it to groom my 3 Australian-Shepherds and not take pet hair off of my furniture. It did a fantastic job on my Aussies.
