This afternoon I took my dog out to the yard as usual, and when I came in, he had his nose full of mosquitoes. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! be sure that Toby is on heart worm prevention which is a parasitic disease from mosquito's. If he hasn't been on prevention he should be tested and started. There are a few products that are license to repel mosquito's: Vectra 3D, K9 Advantix II and Biospot. You can try to rub some Avon Skin So soft on his face (avoid eyes and moth) before letting him out at dusk. I wish you the best!
