Do moquitos usually bite dogs?(especially Siberian Husky)?

Answer 1

Yes, they will bite dogs and mosquitoes are responsible for causing heartworms in dogs. You need to make sure your dog is on a heartworm preventative to ensure that it doesn't get heartworms. Also, K9 Advatix is a good mosquito repellent for dogs. You can usually purchase it from your vet or online.

Answer 2

Huskies are better protected because of their thick coats, but they can still be bitten on the nose, ears and belly by a mosquito. Keep your dog on heartworm meds all year long. It's so cheap to prevent this and so horrible and expensive to treat heartworm! My cousin just had to put her 3 year old shepherd to sleep because she thought she couldn't afford the medicine. It cost $45 to put the dog down and $34 for the meds - where's the sense in that?

Answer 3

Yes and mosquito bites transmit heartworms.

Answer 4

I would think that any being that gives of carbon dioxide would be bitten by a mosquitos. It is the smell of carbon dioxide that attracks them.

Answer 5

yes they do, and yes they can get things from the mosquito bites just like us, so watch them and have them check if any signs are noticed.

Answer 6

I don't think they are breed specific biters. Any dog or cat or other warm blooded animal is fair game.

Answer 7

They'll bite anything that gives off heat (That is how they find a blood source) and has blood.
