Normally you can use a pair of tweezers to do this with. However, if the tick is very large this won't help. You will need to use a pair of needle nose pliers. When you remove the tick from your dog's skin, you'll need to remove the part of the tick that has embedded under the skin at the same time. Afterwards, kill the tick or burn the tick.
