When the mosquitoes and other flies and insects get to be annoying you may reach for the bug spray to apply to yourself and others to repel the bugs. However, you should not spray this bug spray on your dog or other pets. If you want to know if a certain insect repellent is safe to use on your canine, call your vet and discuss your options with him. Some pet owners have been told by their vet that certain insect repellents are OK to use on dogs; however, do not assume this is true for all dogs. Always consult your vet before using any kind of spray or chemical spray on your dog. DEET is a common ingredient in human insect repellent and should not be sprayed on dogs. Always read the label even if the spray says it’s OK for dogs. If your dog accidentally ingests DEET call your veterinarian Sarasota, FL immediately.
