Tick removal card Trixie — compact self-use tool for removing ticks from pets and humans

Trixie tick removal card is a compact, card-shaped extractor designed for safe and precise removal of ticks from both pets and humans. The slim profile and notch-shaped gripping edge are intended to engage the tick close to the skin at the mouthparts, reducing the chance of squeezing the body or leaving mouthparts embedded. Its lightweight construction and flat shape make it convenient to carry in a wallet, first-aid kit or pet bag for use during walks, travel or at home.

Advantages

The design provides a narrow, controlled grip that helps minimize the risk of breaking the tick during extraction. The card is easy to use without special tools, requires minimal storage space and can be cleaned and reused. Because it enables precise placement around the tick’s head, the extractor helps lower the likelihood of infection compared with less targeted removal methods.

Suitable for

• Removing ticks from dogs and cats
• Removing ticks from humans, including children
• Use during outdoor activities such as hiking, camping and walking
• Inclusion in travel first-aid kits and pet care bags

Key specifications

• Card-shaped, slim and pocket-sized form factor for portability
• Notch/grip edge designed to engage tick mouthparts close to the skin
• Reusable and easy to clean after use
• Lightweight material suitable for carrying in small storage spaces
• Intended for use on both animals and humans

How to use

Position the card so that the notch slides under the tick as close to the skin as possible, capturing the tick by its mouthparts rather than squeezing the body. Gently pull the card away from the skin with a steady, even motion until the tick releases. After removal, clean the bite area and the tool with an appropriate disinfectant. Dispose of the removed tick according to local recommendations or keep it in a sealed container for identification if needed.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the bite site for retained mouthparts and signs of irritation or infection after extraction. If the tick’s head remains or if redness, swelling or systemic symptoms occur, seek veterinary or medical advice. Store the extractor clean and dry in a protective sleeve and replace it if damaged.
