Tick takes on 1206 resistors

Most animals seem to like crunchy snacks. Most people would have just squashed the tick. Was the OP keeping this one to infect a competitor's dog?

Granted, the basis of the advice in the links above concern saving the tick for later testing if necessary is geared toward humans, anyone can send these guys a tick for Lyme testing https://www.ticknology.org/tick-removal
I don't know which is more bizarre, your observations that "most animals" like crunchy snacks or your suggestion that the OP wants to take out other dogs viewed as owned by his competitors.

The later part of my comment was intended to be whimsical, but have you never noticed how a wide range of animals gnaw at things too hard to have any obvious nutritional qualities? It seems to be baked deep into animal behaviour. Sometimes it extracts minerals. Sometimes it accesses bone marrow locked inside. Sometimes it has no clear goal. Whatever the benefits, its commonplace.

When I lived in the mountains of Virginia (a tick haven!), the traditional way to dispose of ticks was the drop them into a can partially filled with diesel fuel or kerosene.

I thought the second sentence from my original post made it clear that if the dog developed any symptoms, the tick would be sent in for analysis.
