Guided Check

A tick checker that does not skip the ears.

Work through a dog or cat body check section by section: ears, collar, armpits, between the toes. Progress saves, so you can stop halfway and pick it up later.

One section at a time
  • Dog and cat flows

    Separate sequences, because the spots that matter differ between species.

  • Section by section

    Overlapping sections with a diagram for each, so nothing is skipped and you are not trying to hold a checklist in your head.

  • Resumable

    Progress is saved. A check interrupted by a wriggling dog can be finished later.

What it does not do. A guided check supports a thorough inspection. It cannot guarantee that a pet is free of ticks. Always follow up with a vet if you are concerned.

Common questions

How long does a guided check take?
Two to three minutes for a typical dog. Doing it the same way each time is what stops spots being missed.
Which spots does it cover?
Ears and behind them, under the collar, armpits and groin, between the toes and pads, around the eyelids and muzzle, and under the tail.
