You're best off with molasses or something that is thick and will suffocate the tick, making it lose it's grip and it can then be plucked off. If you're for a quicker method and not concerned with using chemicals, there are plenty you can buy over the counter that will take care of ticks. I generally wouldn't recommend something such as heat which is usually the best method for humans, unless you have someone who can pin the animal down secure enough to ensure it won't get burned.
