Human Bug Spray and Dogs

broken image

You should never use any type of human bug spray on your dog without permission from your vet. Many of the bug sprays for people contain DEET which is deadly to dogs. If you are going to ask about using a people bug spray make sure DEET is not in the ingredients. Most repellents will advertise clearly when DEET is used but always double check. If your dog ingests DEET call your vet right away. Signs and symptoms of DEET ingestion include drooling, wobbly gait, seizures, vomiting and loss of appetite. Call your vet if your dog has any of these symptoms. Avoiding DEET can be done if you look for all natural bug sprays and repellents. You may even find some suggested home remedies online. Always call your veterinarian Dutchess County, NY to clear any type of bug spray you may use on your dog.
