The location of ticks depends on the species of tick. Keep in mind that tick bites are hard to detect once the tick has fallen off your dog after feeding. Often these bites don’t itch, so unless you see the tick or your dog starts to show signs of paralysis tick toxicity, you probably won’t know your dog has been bitten.
