About Tick Detector: Pet Tick Scan
Tick Detector is a lightning-fast tick scanner that turns your phone into a live “negative filter” camera.
The inverted colors boost contrast so ticks, fleas and other tiny pests pop out against your dog’s fur.
Help spot ticks early—wherever you are.
🐾 WHY OWNERS LOVE IT
• Peace of mind before and after every walk
• No special lens or accessory required—just your phone’s camera
• Works offline in the woods, at the park or on a road trip
🔍 HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the app and point the camera at your dog.
2. The real-time negative filter inverts colors, making dark ticks appear bright.
3. Move slowly—ticks look bright in the negative view.
⭐ KEY FEATURES
- Live Negative Filter — optimized for canine fur colors.
- Optimized contrast for common tick colors.
- Privacy First — images never leave your device unless you share them.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER
Tick Detector is a visual aid, not a medical device.
If you find a tick or notice unusual skin changes, consult a veterinarian.
The app does not guarantee 100 % detection accuracy.
📚 HOW TO USE (30 sec)
1. Brush your dog’s coat to expose the skin.
2. Stand in good light or use your phone’s torch.
3. Move slowly—ticks reflect light differently in the negative filter.
🚀 WHAT’S NEXT
• Heatmap (false-color) mode for light-colored coats
• Sharpen filter for dense fur
• Automatic tick outline detection (beta)
