Do ticks lay eggs on dogs? A: Ticks can and do lay ticks on dogs and other hosts. One female tick can lay as many as 2,000 eggs at a time, and when they hatch, these seed ticks can be seen in large numbers on any dog unlucky enough to be infested. Keep Learning.
Generally speaking, female ticks look for off-the-beaten track locations to lay their eggs, the equivalent of a hiding place. This applies to both ticks that are on a host organism such as a dog or cat and ticks that are in the wild in other speciesâ nests. The Brown Dog Tick female for example may lay as many 3,000 eggs after crawling into a suitable hiding or host location place. It takes about a month for tick eggs to hatch, which is why the infestations on household pets can sometimes reappear several times. Unlike fleas, ticks do not jump away when detected, so they are to a certain extent easier to capture and dispose of when observed in a petâs coat.
