Tips for mosquito protection and prevention
Best way to protect your dog from mosquitoes is to prevent them in the first place. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so be sure to refresh your dog’s bowl often especially if it is outdoors. They’re also more active at dusk, so try to walk your dog before early evening. Most importantly, use a mosquito repellant for dogs, such as K9 Advantix® II.
When is mosquito season?
They thrive in warmer weather, so in some areas it’s all year long.
