I would talk to you Vet and ask him if he could give you some information about Benedryl dosage and instructions of what to do if she is bitten. I have seen dogs who got hives from mosquito bites. Many times at dog shows dogs are stung by bees and react with hives. I always carry Benedryl and my Vet's instructions for use with me at all times.
Have a great time!

I have been in rescue for many years but never personally handled a boxer before. After my grandson was born 12 weeks premature and from what I have learned about the breed and kids, I decided to get one for him to grow up with (at grandma's house). Heidi is now 6 months old honesly, she had been the easiest dog I have EVER worked with. Any training I have done with her, she has learned in a matter of 5 minutes or less. She is so eager to please and exactly what I had hoped for Tristin (grandson). She is always aware of where he is and what he is doing and often naps right beside him. He is not almost 1 year old and starting to try to walk and she lets him hold on to her, etc.

I do notice Heidi reacts more visibly to bug bites than and dog I have ever seen...perhaps it is just because her hair is so short, I can really see bites. I am concerned about a safe bug retardant for her both at the beach and home. In would greatly appreciate any input. She is fully flea treated and heartworm protected and will be wearing a "tick" collar while we are gone, too.
