Parasite

I found a parasite on Finn today. It was small, dark red very flat. Eight legs. It could be a tick but I'm not sure, being a first time unexperienced puppy owner etc. I tried to get it off him but it crawled into his fur. It's not surprising if it is a tick as we go to the country a lot. Thing is, what should I do about it?

P.S.: Finn scratches quite a lot too. Has he got fleas or lice or what? He has a flea collar. If it's lice I'll feel offended seeing as in the book it says they're usually found on neglected dogs. *Sulks.*
