Thank you and wow.. it is all so amazing to me, having yorkies for over 20 years and never hearing this before.. I am outside in the city with my guys a lot.. and my hubby loves to sit on the deck.. so the dogs then can just run in and out.. But I have never seen many flies near them.. But when we go camping at my cousins camp in the summer in the States what separates his property from the farmers is a bay that goes into the St. Lawarence River.. and that is the only time I see many flies.. My cousin not having dogs tried to tell me the dogs brought on the flies.. I laughed at him and said I can tell you did not grow up on a farm like I did.. cow poop brings the flies.. So now I will be more vigilent when there.. I hate the heat so I am mostly inside the rv with the air on.. I only go so I can shop shop... LOL
