Flies
Dr. Jeff Nichol, DVM, IAABC Veterinary Behaviorist
More than just a nuisance, flies can cause maggots to destroy the health an older dog.
Question:
My old dog has flies buzzing around. What works well?
Dr. Nichol:
Get a spray or lotion at a feed store that is intended for horses. Keep it away from the eyes and dilute it as recommended on the label and you’ll be fine. Flies are important because they can lead to maggots.
