Amanda Stone Webboard User Reg: 05-17-2007 Posts: 128 Loc: AK, USA Offline	I've found bits and pieces about this.. but I need a more definate sort of answer. My pup'll be 5 months in a few days, and it's summer here in AK, which means tons of mosquitos. Poor thing is getting eaten alive when I even let her out for a few minutes, and I do my best to swat what I can off her. I know theres meds and collars and some other things to help, but I'm a bit more comfortable asking here, then at a pet store. What's safe for her at her age? What isn't? Are there any sort of doggie bug sprays out there, as well? When I go fishing, the bugs'll only get worse out near the rivers, and she won't be able to sit in a hot motorhome the whole time. Anything just to keep her from getting bit. I feel bad for her, since the weather is so nice now, and in a few good months, it'll be no bugs, but very cold.

Skin-so-soft works really well for mosquitos...and don't you just LOVE how pretty you smell? I've never used it on dogs though...is it safe if the dog licks at it? Carbon

Brad . Martin Webboard User Reg: 09-14-2005 Posts: 587 Loc: Ontario, Canada Offline	That's a good question.. I don't really worry about mine licking at it because once it's on she's gone with the wind running and playing!
