My two boys, Porter (13 mo old BMD) and Kief (7 mo old GSD) are being bit by what I think are mosquitoes. Porter seems to be getting them around his eyes & Kief is showing alot in the groin area. These are the ones that are noticeable, but there may be more. The bites don't seem to bother the dogs too much, but with the high rate of West Nile in this area I would like to try to prevent the bites. As Kief doesn't have all his hair yet in his groin area we are able to get a good look at the bites. They are red, circular and not swollen (mosquitoes??). They seem to disappear after about 8 hours. My vet told me that dogs are not all that prone to West Nile, but I would rather prevent the bites altogether if I can (they do get heartworm protection). I think I remember reading about a safe, effective repellent made from Tea Tree Oil. Does anyone have this "recipe"?
