Question:
I've read about the possible bad side effects regarding using any DEET
products on some dogs, but was wondering if there are any less expensive
products out there that really work that you can spray on dogs to repel
mosquitos? Anything over the counter? Everything I find at the local
stores are DEET products.
Answer:
-Try 50% apple cider vinegar and water spray. Not 100% effective and they
smell like a pickle, but worth a on the most vulnerable areas - ears,
face, hocks, wherever the hair is thin.
-Have you tried that avon skin so soft stuff? I've never used it but
know people who use it on their dogs, they also make stuff for little
kids, which should be safe for a dog? I always used "Off", dogs all
lived to ripe old ages. The only place I really put the stuff was on
thier ears, they couldn't lick them so maybe that was fine? Let us
know what you find.
-Health food stores sell DEET-free repellants. Perhaps they're something to
take a look at.
