I used this fly spray I bought at Petco to rid flies from my German shepherd. Please take precaution on how you put it on your dog. If your dog is anything like mine, he licked all the areas I had sprayed and fell deathly ill. After nursing him back I threw out the can of Flies Off and just use the Frontline. No more toxic fumes for any of my pets, I prefer only organic or the home made stuff from now on.

I had a problem with one of my German Shepherds. His ears kept being bitten. I went to the pet store and I was recommended a spray repellent wich is actually used for horses, but it works wonderfully. I am in Australia but you would certainly have the same thing in the US. In the summer, which we are almost in here in Aus, I never let them out at night without it, because the mosquitoes here can cause Ross River Virus, and other nasty diseases. And I have such a phobia about flies annoying my dogs anyway, this spray is invaluable for keeping them away in summer. I tried citronella but it didn't seem to work as well as this spray.

I need something to keep the mosquitoes off my German Shepherd. We cannot go outside without getting swarmed and eaten alive.
