I am very hesitant to introduce a long acting chemical into a tiny yorky. I have to wonder what the long term effects on vital organs are. Having said this, I have no intention of locking my baby outside in a swarm of mosquitos. I am contemplating using pet mosquito repellent if out doors, or even possibly the low dose part time dosing. I am not easily offended and I am eager for everyone's input. Even if we respectfully disagree  |
It is way to big of a risk not to use it. Mosquitoes can still get into your house and all it takes is one. You may think the prevention is bad but the cure is much much much worse and could kill your dog.
