My white boxer has had an aweful time with the biting flies all over, especially his ear tips (so much that they bleed). I wash the ears with hydrogen peroxide and a cotton ball then apply a generous amount of antibiotic ointment to the tip, then rub his fur down with AVON’s Skin-So-Soft oil. THE FLIES DISSAPPEAR IMMEDIATELY!!!

My German Shepherd’s ears were awful, especially when I got home after a week of camping. My pet sitter only put something on once a day. I have tried everything: Vaseline, Fly repellent for horses (I was concerned about it being too potent but it still didn’t work) even Corona Ointment, which farmers use on animal’s wounds to keep flies off of them. I found this site and was going to try the essential oil recipe but Whole foods is 20 miles away and I wouldn’t be able to get there for a few days. So, I tried my Deep Woods Off Bug and Sun Cream. We were just camping in CO and I used it – never got a bite or sunburn. And it worked immediately on his ears! I only have to put it on once a day. It does not sting his ears while the wounds are healing, it doesn’t smell, my dog didn’t mind it at all. We are two days into it and I would say that he is already growing hair back!

I have 2 rots, we have used Avon skin so soft forever, it’s a miracle. My babies show no sign of problems or irritation. They seem happy

My lab had a sore on his nose and the vet recommended “swat”. Sway may be purchased at most feed stores such as Tractor Supply. My vet said left untreated flies may lay eggs in sore and the sore will only get bigger.

My thanks to Dawid but I have managed to find more supplies of Fly Rid plus the fact it is late autumn here now so the biting fly menace goes away until next summer.

My two Boxers are not really bothered with flies biting their ears but they are really pestered by biting flies around the head and tail areas. I used to use a spray called Fly Rid which was absolutely marvellous. The dogs hated it but it worked very, very well. Now I cannot find it on sale anywhere. Can anyone help with vendors please.
