mosquito repellent for dogs
Nothing comes up on a search, but anyone have ideas?? One of our small dogs has pretty thin fur and Alaska has a lot of mosquitos.

Some time reading and looking online, looks like some sort of permethrin impregnated gear is the best solution. It's toxic for cats but our dogs are not around them when camping. I saw a consumer report on the news last night that compared repellents. Basically it found DEET to be the best (already knew that)then permethrin, and a new product from REPEL that is lemon/eucalyptus. All the 'natural' products and skin so soft failed badly (already knew that). That test was for ticks which are not much of a concern in the northwest, but I think it will apply for mosquitoes too. They applied the product and if 2 ticks crossed onto the treated skin they considered it a failure. Thanks for the input.
