Mosquitoes will bite dogs. Mosquitoes bite all warm-blooded animals, including dogs. In summer, many breeders remove dog hair in order to cool down their dogs, making them vulnerable to bites. Dogs will have red, swollen patches on their bodies after being bitten by mosquitoes, and the bites will be itchy.

How to treat a dog bitten by a mosquito:

1. Apply soapy water. Immediately apply soapy water to the dog, apply it for about 5 minutes, and then give the dog a bath.

2. Use special ointment. Use dog-specific mosquito bite ointment on your dog’s wounds to relieve itching and reduce swelling, so your dog won’t scratch himself.

3. Avoid scratching. If the dog scratches during this period, the owner should stop the dog from scratching the area bitten by mosquitoes to prevent the dog from scratching the skin and causing wound inflammation and infection.

4. Daily prevention. You can usually take measures to prevent mosquitoes for your dog, such as wearing an anti-mosquito collar, applying anti-mosquito essential oil, and installing a kennel mosquito net.
