I hope he never gets any either. See the thing is, YOU or anybody else entering your home can bring in the tick hanging onto YOU. They jump and latch on.
It doesn't really hurt I don't think IMO to remove the tick. The important thing is to NOT pull the tick half way out and leave part of the tick imbedded within the pet. Olive oil drenched on the tick suffocates/kills it and it can be removed with tweezers or fingernails.
