Question
Wendy,

Thank you for your time.  My dog is being bothered by mosquitos this year.  I keep Advantage on him for fleas but now he is itching due to the mosquitos.  Do you know of anything that I can put on him to keep them off?  He is 5 years old and I live in North Arkansas.  Thank you.
Tanya

Answer
You don't say what kind of dog you have.  You can use regular mosquito spray on your dog. Just like you would a child. Make sure you cover his eyes so the spray doesnt burn his eyes. If he is an outside dog, spray his kennel and surrounding area with a fogger.
