Oh! Good to know! Thanks for the update :).

I would say not to worry about this. Dogs all over the world in the tropical zones dont get mosquito repellent and do just fine.
Dogs in Alaska do just fine without it.
Dogs who do well in mosquito country have the proper coat to discourage mosquitoes. This particular pup has very little fur on her chest and underside. Great little dog but not built for fending off bugs. Her adopted, and not very bright in her opinion, sister has a thicker coat and will do just fine...except she tries to eat every mosquito that flies by. Must be exhausting, she sleeps like a rock when we are camping. ๐

a natural fly repellent, Marigold Spray is non-toxic, alcohol free, pesticide free and SAFE...will not burn eyes! Works up to 8 hours with sunscreen protection.
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

I swallow two tablespoons of cider vinegar a day or two before I go out, it works well for all bugs incl chiggers we had in Georgia when I whaz a kid. I just can't see getting my dog to take it, at least not without promising him a Corona to wash it down.
If he was a cat, I would just say 'mix it with tuna' :).
I wonder if the vinegar is high in vitamin B6?

Advantix works extremely well. When we moved to Yukon we still had some Advantix from life on Vancouver Island, where ticks are a problem. Someone suggested I use it here too, to keep the skeeters off my boy.
Works great! Just one treatment each spring does the job. Put some on him last week because he was getting swarms around him and numerous bites. Now...nothing. They don't go near him. Amazingly effective.
Tempted to try it on myself :B

Key Benefits
โข REPELS and kills ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes. REPELS biting flies and kills lice, too
โข Kills ALL life stages of fleas and prevents development of fleas, flea eggs, larvae, and pupae
โข Prevents fleas on a treated dog from reinfesting the home
โข Kills fleas within 12 hours, and kills reinfesting fleas within 2 hours
โข Waterproof
I'm not sure how well it works and for how long, but if you are doing flea and tick control (a good idea when camping with dogs) it might be a solution.

Try searching cedarwood oil, there are a few homemade recipes for pet friendly insect repellent and I think there are a couple of commercial products as well, I have not tried it yet so I cannot vouch for it's safeness or effectiveness.
This works. Also ticks dont like it either. And it smells nice!

Older humans often have too little, and I personally have found it helpful to take as a supplement.

Edit:
Recommended daily dose for dogs is 1.0 - 2.0 mg/kg
That's about 44-90 mg/lb.
