yes! I had a similar question about a month ago so I went in to my local independent pet store. They suggested a spray called Muskoka Woods Bush Splash. I'm not sure what the ingredients are, but its entirely plant and food based, so it isn't harmful to your dog. You can even use it on yourself, and it doesn't stink at all. I live in bug country (Northewstern Ontario) and it works well here!!!

Thank you
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I will go check. Did you tried it on your dog? Do you by any chance have any info about the heartworm problem in Barrie? I did not do ,and have concerns to do, the heartworm vaccination, and am trying to get some more advices to help me getting into a decision. Thanks. |

I haven't heard anything about the Heartworm problem in Barrie, since I live about 1600 kms from you! sorry!

Some people also like using Avon Skin So Soft. It works well for mosquitoes and I have not read any negative issues about its use in pets.
It is important to note that other than Revolution, no topical treatments for mosquitoes is considered enough to preclude the need for heartworm preventatives for heartworm endemic areas.

Check out Oil of Oreganol http://www.oreganopro.com/oreganolp73.asp - I believe they do all kinds - its not cheap but well worth it as you only need tiny amounts, it is harmless and natural.

We use Bush Splash here on our dogs but I do find it leaves an oily film on thier coats, I have heard that a bounce sheet tied to the collar will keep the bugs away I know some ppl that do that with horses

I make my own:
Put 1 crushed organic lemon (peel and all), a few rosemary sprigs in a jar, add about a quart of hot (not boiling) water, let sit over night, strain into a spray bottle and voila. Must be kept in the refrigerator. Thoroughly spray pet and/or human before going out and it works. I also feed two teaspoons of garlic oil to the dogs every day and all we had this year was one tick. I peel a few fresh garlic cloves, remove the (toxic to dogs) green stem in the middle, let sit in canola or olive oil for a few days and off you go. Who doesn't want to mess with this: Rio Vista sells a spray (PET-SO-SOFT BOTANICAL SPRAY) for dogs that's supposedly very effective.
