About Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are found all across the United States and can be a year-round concern where temperatures and humidity remain favorable throughout the year. While most mosquitoes are merely an annoyance, they can spread viruses, protozoa, and worms to animals.


Some tips for reducing mosquito exposure:

  • Keep pets indoors during early morning and evening hours when mosquitoes are most prevalent.
  • Only use mosquito repellent that is approved for use on pets to prevent bites. Check the label to determine if the product is for use on pets or ask your veterinarian for a recommendation. Many insect repellents that are designed for human use contain chemicals that can cause serious health risks in animals, and therefore should not be used on your pet.
