Four Ways to Keep Your Dog

Safe from Mosquitoes

Prevent your dog from

being around water bodies
as much as you can
Standing water is especially favorable for
mosquitoes, and it can be found in anything
from a pond to a long-unused bucket of water
in your yard. Being around such water can be
risky for a dog (as well as for yourself).

Check your dog’s kennel

carefully for holes through
which mosquitoes can get
through
Mosquitoes are so small that is quite difficult
to spot them unless they are zooming close
to your face or taking a bite out of you. They
are also quite adept at sneaking in through
unnoticed cracks and holes on the walls of
your home.

Allow your dog to go

outdoors when there are
fewer mosquitoes outside
As for being outdoors at times except sunrise
and sunset, attracting natural predators of
mosquitoes to your backyard is not a bad
idea to let nature do the trick by itself.

Use safe mosquito

repellents on your dog for
protection

If your dog loves playing outdoors more than

anything else, it is necessary, especially in
the warmer seasons, to apply a mosquito
repellent on your dog’s body. This will make it
much safer for your dog to stay outside the
house for a longer period
