what can i use to keep flies off my dog?

Answer 1

Use Permethrin!!! You know the cheap spot on flea medicine that you can get at pet stores. You can use it once a month down the middle of the back, or with our GSD's I put half the tube on one ear and the other half on the other ear. This is off label, but it should be marketed this way. It works for up to a month controlling flies! The Pet Gel, and Swat (Fly's off is the same as Swat, but lower ingredients as Swat is made for horses) for ears does not work, unless you want to apply it every other day. Try the permethrin. Remember not to put permethrin on cats. Deadly to cats.

Answer 2

Well you could give your dog a bath. And wash it with really good smelly wash. Flies like the smell of YUCK so make your dog smell good. If that dont work go to your local pet store and by some kind of product for your problem, and maybe even a dogie sweater, but spray it to, to smell good. Good luck.

Answer 3

My dog used to get terrible bug bites on his stomach everytime we went out in the summer months. I asked my vet what I could do and they said I could try a children's bug spray. This is to be used in moderation and only on dogs over 6 months old. Do not spray the dogs face or "private" areas.
