Dogs get bitten by mosquitoes when left outdoors in summer

It is normal for dogs to get bitten by mosquitoes when left outdoors in summer. Although dogs have a lot of thick hair, they cannot completely avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Short-haired dogs or dogs that have just been shaved are prone to mosquito bites. It’s best not to shave your dog’s hair too short or leave your dog outside. In summer, not only are there mosquitoes outdoors, but the temperature is also very high, which can easily cause heatstroke in dogs.
