Yellow Jacket Wasps and Dogs

Filed under: Yellow Jackets and Dogs? — admin @ 10:11 pm

Oh man, we’ve got several yellow jacket nests in the ground behind our home.  We’ve had several treated by an exterminator and now the dogs have found another nest.  I don’t see much on the web about this.  Are dogs allergic to their stings like some people are?  My neighbor also has this problem, anyone else?  The exterminator knew a lot about treating the problem but not about dogs reaction to the stings.  It doesn’t look like they’ve been stung yet but when they get too close to the nest, the wasps swarm like crazy.  The person who cuts our grass got stung 4 times Saturday when he accidentally stepped on a nest.  Anyone know what to do and if the sting of these wasps is harmful to the dogs?
