Can Human Bug Spray Be Used on Dogs?

Now that the weather is warmer, the small flies, gnats and other biting insects are coming out in full force and they’re probably bothering your canine friends. You may be wondering what you can do to help your dog keep these insects at a distance. A good rule of thumb is to always check bug repellent labels to find out if they are safe for use on dogs and animals. Call your vet to ask any questions you may have. 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 with 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 your dogs. If your dog ingests DEET call your vets Washington DC immediately. Or click this website Brentwood Animal Hospital.
