| How can I help my furbutt? Toby is absolutely petrified of flying insects (flies, daddy long legs, etc.). We went camping a few weeks ago and a horse fly got in the camper and it must have grazed his nose or face because he went absolutely bonkers, rubbing his face all over the carpet about 100 mph. LOL Tonight a daddy long legs was flying around and he saw it and started freaking out again trying to run and hide. It wasn't even near him. Any suggestions on how I can help this little guy? We go camping a lot in the summer and there are going to be flies, horseflies, etc. He just goes spastic!

| You might want to try Rescue Remedy. Poor guy....I have never seen a pup do anything like that. Mine all try to catch bugs.

| Thanks..................ETA he was a rescue but had been in a foster home with other dogs and they had goats and chickens.........you'd think he'd be used to flies. I'm wondering if maybe when he was in the mill he got bit by a bug or something. Where can I find Rescue Remedy?

| Thanks! I bought some calming treats before we went camping last time so Toby would stay in his car seat. They worked. I don't want to keep the poor guy "drugged" but if it will help him get over his fear, I might give him a couple of the treats as more bugs start coming out. I may also buy some Rescue Remedy to keep on hand since it works immediately. I appreciate your input. Thanks!

| got no bugs on me You can use quick stike also...spray it on you pet and around the campsite or your yard and it will keep them away and kill them as well....totally safe to use on pets, and it works

| I did a search for quick stike and quick strike and can't find any information on it. Could you tell me where this can be purchased and is this the name of the product?
