Mosquitoes are
annoying. Their bites can be so itchy! But, if your dog is covered in hair,
does that mean he doesn’t have to worry about these pesky bugs?
Your dog can
definitely get bitten by mosquitos, even though they are less likely to get
bitten than you are. That's because they're covered with hair that can make a
bite difficult, but don't think this will stop a hungry bug.
It is important
to protect your dog from these insects when you head outside. Some flea and
tick medications include mosquito protection. If not, make sure you buy
dog-friendly mosquito repellent. Regular repellant made for humans can make
your canine companion sick.
If your dog got
bitten by a mosquito and you are worried that he may have contracted a disease
from the bite, schedule an appointment with your veterinary
clinic Coon Rapids, MN.
