When your pup’s paws, nose or any other part of her body comes into contact with a bee that stings, it’s as painful to her as it would be to you. Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) can help take the sting away by creating a paste with a little water.
FOR SIGNS OF A DOG BEE STING, SEE BELOW:
- Swelling of the face or muzzle

MORE SERIOUS REACTIONS AFTER A DOG BEE STING MAY ALSO OCCUR. THESE REQUIRE IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE:
