VetsBrands Summer Spray: Insect Repellent for Dogs

Spring, summer and autumn bring warmer weather and more opportunities for dogs to enjoy the outdoors. They can also bring more bothersome biting insects. VetsBrands Summer Spray is a wipe-on and spray-on insect repellent for dogs and horses, formulated to help protect against midges (Culicoides), mosquitoes and stable flies.

Long-lasting insect protection for dogs

Summer Spray contains 15% DEET (Diethyl Toluamide) and 1.0% Piperonyl Butoxide, combined with four synergistic oils: eucalyptus oil, tagete oil, D-limonene and alpha-terpineol. The formula is free from citronella oil, which can attract midges.

According to product information, trials have demonstrated protection lasting more than 16 hours, making Summer Spray a practical option during periods of increased insect activity.

How to use VetsBrands Summer Spray

For best results, shake the bottle well before use and brush your dog’s coat first to remove excess dust and dirt. Put on rubber or plastic gloves before applying the product.

Apply Summer Spray by spraying or wiping it onto your dog’s coat, ideally in the early morning or late afternoon when biting insects are most active.

Take extra care when applying the product around your dog’s head. Never spray directly around the head or eyes. Instead, apply the spray to a soft, clean cloth and gently wipe it over your dog’s head, carefully avoiding the eyes.

VetsBrands Summer Spray is available in 125 ml, 1-litre and 5-litre sizes, giving pet owners the flexibility to choose the option that best suits their needs.
