It's black fly season!
Have you noticed red, circular marks on your dog’s stomach that look a little alarming? Don't worry, they're most likely black fly bites!
These bites are usually harmless and often appear in clusters. They may look dramatic, but in most cases, they clear up on their own within a few days without causing your pup any serious discomfort.
Prevention tip: Using a topical preventative like Vectra 3D can help repel biting flies and keep your dog more comfortable during bug season.
If the bites don’t go away, seem infected, or your dog is very itchy or uncomfortable, it’s always best to give us a call.
