Deet? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have some questions about bug sprays that have DEET in them. I'm a total mosquito magnet. During the summer I can't go out without some sort of protection. The deet sprays work the best on me. Even then I'll come back with a handful of bites. I'm worried about how such sprays might affect our pup.

Can he get enough of the spray off our skin by biting or licking to cause him harm? Are there any alternative sprays that work as well or better?

Thanks,
Ivy

Wipe your furbaby with a sheet of Bounce----MUST be Bounce!
Attach a sheet to harness. Do the same on yourself----put a sheet in your pocket or somewhere. I don't know what is in Bounce that repels the mosquitoes---but it Works.
