Protect your dog in addition with natural remedies like citronella

Take a small spray bottle, fill it with water and put a few drops of the citronella oil in it. Evenings when you walk your dog or stay with him in the garden, take the citronella and spray it all over you dog’s body, avoiding the facial areas. Citronella helps not only against mosquitoes but also against other pests, such as ticks.
