Veirbac For Fly/mosquito Repellant

[Missilesmom]

Hi,

Someone I know just adopted a new GH and took him to the vet for first check up. The dog had red spots on his belly/groin area and was scrathing a lot. The vet suggested dog either had allergies or was bitten by bugs. So vet recommended a product called Veirbac for itching relief. It is supposed to repel flies and mosquitos. Dog is already on flea/tick application monthly. Owner agrees that dog may be having reaction to bugs since he was laying in yard for a while before vet visit. I will do a google search on the product but am just wondering if anyone has had specific experience with or knowledge of this product. Any information appreciated. Thanks much.

Virbac is the company name. My guess is that the vet wanted her to use Genesis Spray which is a topical steroidal spray used to help control allergic reactions, dermatitis, etc. I have used it many times on my boy with no problems whatsoever.

 

This is the product she was probably referred to: Genesis Spray

 

I also found this, which could be the product the vet recommended. I wouldn't use it on a greyhound, however, because it contains permethrin.
