Wow I'm allergic to bees, but never thought about my pets. Thanks for info.

My two boxers are highly allergic to bees. My fawn boy swells up with welts and has to be given a steroid to help reduce the swelling. My white girl is allergic also, but not as bad as my boy. She swells up all over but benadryl helps her. I had to rush my boy to the emergency vet because his breathing was labored. So our 4 legged babies are just as prone to the same things as our 2 legged babies.

Glad Felix is okay.

Both my dogs have been stung on walks. Not chasing bees. Just while walking. They are very short Chihuahuas so were stung in their muzzles. Horrible swelling.

I have Benadryl because both dogs have other allergies. It didn't work with the first dog so the vet said to take him in to emergency. Costs $219 each time. Didn't bother trying the Benadryl on the second dog.

One dog is allergic to something the neighbor's exterminator uses. Spider bites, too.

I just took Felix out for a walk and had to be careful, he saw 2 bees and freaked out, so I picked him up and told him he had to walk on cement and driveway, not worth getting stung again

(the clover in our yard is bad this year, hubby will mow Friday)

Thanks again everyone for your concerns and be careful walking your dogs.

I had no idea they could be allergic to bee stings. Thanks for the heads up.
