I took my very shaggy dog to the groomer's today. He's a non-shedding breed, so goes every few months. The groomer found one large tick under his fur and pointed it out to my daughter's partner, who picked up the dog after his appointment. She didn't remove the tick and in fact had cut his hair around it. This struck me as slightly unusual, but having never been in this position, I don't know what is the done thing.
Thanks.
