Dog Mange Treatment

While you can treat mange at home, it's helpful to get a definitive diagnosis of the condition. 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. For immediate topical relief try these home remedies:

• Olive Oil - Cleaning the ear with olive oil may smother the mites, and it also loosens the debris to make it easier to clean away. Mites hatch every 4 days, so do this every 3 days for 2 weeks to get rid of them.
• Garlic Oil - Mites are known to hate sulfur, therefore the sulfur in garlic oil makes a good anti-parasitic remedy. It may also help with secondary issues such as bacterial infections or fungus.
• Green Tea - Green tea is a great natural antiseptic to clean the ears and get rid of mites.

If your pet doesn't respond to our combination therapy after a few weeks of treatment, then you should follow-up with a veterinarian.

Dogs can get mange from mites. Sarcoptic mange is contagious, spreading through direct contact with an infected animal, while Demodectic mange is often linked to a weakened immune system. Mites can also be present in the environment, leading to infection through indirect contact. Maintaining your dog's overall health is key in preventing and managing mange.

Sarcoptic mange, also known as scabies, is a contagious skin condition in dogs caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. These mites burrow into the skin, causing intense itching, redness, and hair loss. Sarcoptic mange is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected animal.

Absolutely! Conventional medications, including topical applications, dips, and oral treatments prescribed by veterinarians, are available for treating mange in dogs. 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.

Demodectic mites, specifically Demodex canis, are microscopic parasites that naturally inhabit the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of dogs. While present in small numbers on most dogs, an overgrowth or imbalance can lead to demodectic mange, characterized by hair loss, redness, and scaly skin. Unlike sarcoptic mange, demodectic mange is not highly contagious.
