Grab it gently, perhaps with small tweezers or a noose of dental floss, being careful not to squish--you don't want the tick to vomit into the dog's eyelid. Pull gently but firmly, and in a minute or so the tick will get tired and let go. It's easy to pull the body off and leave the head attached, so don't jerk. This isn't a tragedy if it happens, but it's better to remove the whole tick. If the dog's skittish, you may have to do a lot of calming to get this done safely.

Try touching the tick with a hot needle heated by a candle. Sometime the tick will back off without having to be pulled out.
Pulling the tick out often leaves part of it in the flesh.

Using a pair of tweezers, twist the tick COUNTER-CLOCKWISE while pulling it out (commonly a tick's left jaw bites higher then the right). The dog will not like this, but it should remove the tick without leaving the jaws inside, which can result in infection. An antiseptic ointment should be applied to the site afterward.

The safest way is to get a cotton bud and dip the cotton bud in a little vinegar, gently wipe the tick with vinegar, the acid in the vinegar will cause the tick to drop off..

Take a pair of tweezers and pick it off. You can't use the usually suggested method of holding a burnt match to it for fear of damaging the dog's eye. Have someone hold the dog's head very still while you remove the tick.

I just removed one from my dogs eye lid. I had my husband distract him with a spoon full of peanut butter. I do not think he even noticed that I was removing a tick.

Using a Tick Remover available from your pet store... best to do it when the tick is 'full'!

just get a good hold down close to it's head and pull. You won't be hurting the eye lid.
During seed tick season ticks like to cluster around the eyes & I used tweezers or a flea come.
If it is a lg. tick it may bleed a little. Ticks inject a type of anti coagulant so they can get free flowing blood. The bleeding will stop.
You just pull it off.
