My dog is being attacked by ants, what should i do?

Question

i can't place a repellant on him.. what else is there?

he's staying outside.. there's no food lying around.. i just bathe him.. could he be diabetic?

Answer 1

You can treat the yard, you should be doing that about 3 times a year anyway.
You can use a bait for the ants-it works well. Also never put out more food than you dog can eat in a few minutes. Do not leave dog food out that he does not eat. It helps to keep the food bowl clean, daily.

Answer 2

you don't say where he's staying at(inside vs. outside)....spray the environment for ants or have a service come out and do the yard. Bathing the dog will help get rid of existing ants in the coat. Removing excess food laying around will help.

Answer 3

Make sure the area he is in is clean or clean it! take him to the vet to make sure he doesnt have any wounds or anything also try making a circle around the area he lays most of the time (im assuming outside) with baby powder! ants dont like it that should keep them away from your dog.

Answer 4

Bring him in the house,then spray the ants or burn the anthill.Give the dog a bath and a haircut if it's matted.Are they fire ants?If they are ,they can kill your dog.Do something fast!

Answer 5

Take him inside the house and shower him again, and tomorrow take him to the nearest shelter, you should have a dog if you are allowing ants to attack him!!!!!

Answer 6
