Yes they do. My Boxer Shadow got bit by one last year and we were really worried. Her face was very swollen. We took her to the Vet and thankfully it was not a dangerous spider. Brown Recluse spiders can make a lot of tissue damages and necrosis, which can lead to amputation. Be safe, they can get you too. We just got a memo from our Vet to fumigate and check our dog's bedding and living areas. Especially in the summer months.

Yes, I researched this recently when my dog was ill. The web information said that it is very possible, and that generally the bites are on the belly or similar areas where there is no hair or it is thin. They suggested you do a thorough check of the animal. The spiders of concern are the Black Widow and the Brown Recluse spider in the United States.
If you believe your dog may have been bitten, you should contact your vet.

Anything can get bitten by a spider. For example I'm allergic to all bug bites. My dog was stung by a bee once on his lip and we had to take him to the vet. A couple of hundred dollars later all the vet did was have us hold an ice pac on his lip to put the swelling down.

call the vet and tell them you have not any money and ask them what to do. they'll the two assist you on the telephone or direct you to a charitable vet. If the chew is poisonous to a canines, it desires to be dealt with medically. some spider bites are poisonous to canines that are to not people. you're able to desire to get her some antibiotics, using fact this could kill her. Borrow some money or some thing, in the different case extremely than dealing with the grief of having to pay a reimbursement, you would be dealing with the grief of a lifeless canines.

Yes they can, just like us, they can be bit by spiders, stung by bees and wasps. If a tiny tick can bite them, a spider sure can.
