I have 2 large dogs and the flies are eating on their ears. Does anyone have a home remedy that I could use to repel the flies from my pets safely. Thank You,

Shanon

Anyone who has ever kept their dog inside for a few days only going on walks knows what an unhappy dog that makes. I just moved to a house where I can let them sleep outside now. It's southern california, beautiful weather and even my 2 small dogs are doing very well. all 3 sleep in a large dog bed and keep each other warm. dogs are pack animals. my dogs have NEVER been happier. they play outside from the moment they wake to the moment they go (without force I add) to their beds when they are tired. If you have a proper dog house with bedding even little dogs can be kept outside in a pack and are happier for it. people don't even belong indoors that much!!

I have successfully used Fresh Aloe Plant especially on our dogs nose and on his body. You break open the leaves and smear it on. If you taste it you'll know why flies don't like it.

We use crocodile oil here. It heals very quickly and repels flies.

It's cruel to keep them chained up but not kept outside. Mine live outside because of hygiene purposes.

I use Ultra Shield fly spray for horses on my Pitbull. It's the best thing I've tried and works well. It is a little pricy but I think its worth it. It will last about 3 days and the flies seem to just fall off and die.

I use avon skin so soft it works for awhile. I'm on here looking for the same answer. I'm tired of this. My dogs look like crap because of deer flies black flies and what ever kind of flies. I want them gone for good . This happens every summer.

I have 3 Rotties and they love the outdoors. The only thing I have found to work is a spray called "FLYS OFF". You can get it at Pet Smart and probably other pet stores. You can also order it online thru Pet Smart. It is a WONDERFUL Product. No more ear bites from those pesky flys. It runs about $9.00 per can. Try this web site was the least expensive I found during a quick search. http://www.gundogsonline.com/dog-gr ... m-flys-off-dog-insect-repellent.html
You may be able to find it elsewhere on line cheaper.

It's not cruel to let your dogs live outside, unless it's extreme heat or cold. My 3 dogs live outside unless it's raining, extremely hot or cold. One of them have fly problems with her ears and nothing seems to work. I feel bad so I'm going to try keeping her inside for a while.

I really wanted to use something natural on my 3 dogs, but nothing seemed to work other than UIltrashield fly repellent. I avoid their faces, by spraying it on my golved hand and wiping it on their ears and other facial areas.

It is not cruel to leave dogs outside for gods sake. My dog is also having trouble with flies and I have tried vasoline with eucalyptus oil in it (only a little bit). Even if it doesn't get rid of the flies it'll stop his ears getting infected.

Ours live outside as they are working dogs and get the same thing. I am soon trying the vinegar and garlic solution as it wont icky up their ears, but Swat from any horse store is great. I own horses as well, so I will also put a bit of the horse spray on them.

If fed with moderation, you can give them some garlic.

I have a tip ... bring your dogs inside! It's cruel to leave dogs chained up outside for prolonged periods of time. http://www.dogsdeservebetter.com/

I have found that Neosporin on the tips of the ears seems to repel flys. I also use a product called "flys off"

Go to a horse supply or TSC and get SWAT. It repels the flys and helps with healing.

Hi Shanon,

I don't have a problem with flys ... my dogs are on Frontline and they are also inside dogs, but if I did I would check with their Vet to see if he had an answer.

Good luck!

I've smoothed vasiline on the top side of my dog's ears. It seemed to work to repell flies.

you could try spraying the dogs with vinegar water.....it seems that I read somewhere you can also put it in the drinking water to repel ticks and fleas.....may want to reseaech amount ratio....but I spray my dogs with vinegar water to neutralize odors and it works great too
