My dog has ticks. Is there a treatment for dog ticks?

Yes! There's topical or oral medications you can get prescribed by your primary care vet. There are also shampoos and sprays that can help kill ticks that can be found online. Tick collars can also be bought online and repel ticks but can also kill them over time too. Lastly, you can remove ticks by hand; however, I would be careful to ensure the whole tick is removed including the mouth parts. Please do NOT burn the ticks, etc. Ticks can transmit many diseases, so if your dog is acting unusual or lethargic, please bring them in to see your primary care doctor right away and ask them about any possible tick-borne diseases.
