Good morning Priya, and thanks for your request. These insects are ticks. I would recommend to: - have them removed (you can see how to do it correctly here https://www.petcoach.co/article/tick-removal/) - Have them treated with an appropriate preventive treatment which can be prescribed by your local veterinarian (https://www.petcoach.co/article/tick-control/) To know more about ticks in general please refer to this link: https://www.petcoach.co/article/ticks-life-cycle-anatomy-disease-transmission/ Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
