Mosquitoes bite dogs, and mosquitoes bite all warm-blooded animals, including dogs. In summer, many breeders will remove the dog's hair in order to cool down the dog, making the dog vulnerable to bites. After a dog is bitten by a mosquito, it will leave a red, swollen bump on the body, and the bite will appear itchy.

How to deal with a dog bitten by a mosquito:

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

2. Use special ointment. Use a dog-specific ointment for mosquito bites on the dog's wound to relieve itching and swelling so that the dog does not scratch itself.

3. Avoid scratching. If the dog scratches during the period, the owner should stop the dog from scratching the place where the mosquito bites, so as to prevent the dog from scratching the skin, causing inflammation and infection of the wound.

4. Daily prevention. Usually, you can take anti-mosquito measures for dogs, such as wearing anti-mosquito collars, applying anti-mosquito essential oils, installing kennel mosquito nets, etc.
