Mite Treatment For Dogs

While you can treat mites at home, it's helpful to get a definitive diagnosis of the condition. But to treat dog mange at home we recommend isolating your dog from other pets. Then trying our Dog Mange Treatment in combination with our Ear Infection & Itch Relief to alleviate the issue. If your pet doesn't respond to our combination therapy after a few weeks of treatment, then you should follow-up with a veterinarian. Expect a solution that involves special baths, prescription medications, or injections.

There are several types of mites. The most common are called Demodectic mites. All dogs have these types of mites on their skin as they are transmitted by their mothers at birth. They're harmless when a dog's immune system isn't compromised. But you'll notice hair loss around the eyes and face if these types of mites are present and the dog has a weakened immune system. Sarcoptic mites (also known as scabies) are highly contagious to other dogs and humans. They’re caused by a parasitic mite that burrows just beneath the skin's surface. You'll notice that your dog is obsessively itching and chewing the affected area. This leads to large amounts of hair loss, usually on the legs and belly. Cheyletiellosis is an uncommon but highly contagious skin parasite. It affects dogs, cats, humans, and rabbits. These whitish mites are also known as walking dandruff because they crawl across the skin and fur. Excessive scaling accompanies the infection.

Yes, there is medication available and your veterinarian may prescribe several of them to treat Sarcoptic mange. There are topical medications and dips available to resolve the issue. Plus, there are also oral treatments available. However, we suggest using our all-natural remedies as a first-line of defense. One is called Dog Mange Treatment. The other is called Ear Infection & Itch Relief. We recommend this combination of care because many times mites that cause mange start in the ears.
