Question

Answer 1

You can use Flys Off.It comes in a spray and you can get it at most pet or farm stores.It repels flies,gnats and mosquitoes.If you're giving your dog a monthly heartworm preventative,you won't have to worry about heartworm,but the spray will keep the bugs from biting!

Answer 2

K-9 Advanitx....there aint no bugs on me.  It also repels mosquitos in addition to the flea/tick repellant.  Good stuff and you only have to apply once a month.

Answer 3

Cedarcide works for both dogs and people...and it works on fleas as well as mosquitos!

Answer 4

I work at a pet store, and when we're out of what we sell, we recommend  Skintastic for Infants.

Spray it in your hands and rub it on them  

Answer 5

I use good ol' skin -so -soft by Avon . I have heard you can use dryer sheets too... tuck one around a collar perhaps .we went to a ball game last week and I gave us all one for in our pockets we did not get bit.! I keep some in my purse now and placed some in the carry all in the bottom of the grand babies stroller for walks.

Answer 6

Avon Skin-So-Soft works.  You can also use Neem Oil spray or Citronella spray.  (Ark Naturals makes a spray called Neem Protect that contains both and repels most insects.)

Answer 7

I think Front Line or most flea oils do, but if you want to be real sure, Skin So Soft from Avon works very well and it is safe for your pets.

It smells great too. Only draw back is it gets the dog a little oily.

You might not want it on the dogs if they use your furniture.
