Sarcoptic mange (scabies) and demodectic mange are the most common types of mange, and mites can easily spread, especially in crowded areas like shelters or dog parks.

Mange mites commonly affect areas like the ears, face, elbows, chest, and abdomen. In severe cases, they can spread to the entire body, causing hair loss, scaly patches, crusty skin, and intense itching. Early treatment helps prevent the spread of mange to larger areas of skin.

Sarcoptic mange (scabies) is highly contagious and can be transmitted to other animals and humans through direct contact. However, demodectic mange is not contagious and usually affects dogs with weakened immune systems. If you suspect your dog has mange, it’s essential to treat it promptly to avoid transmission.

Demodectic mange is not contagious and cannot be passed from animal to animal or animal to human. Mange usually infects animals who have a weakened immune system, therefore contact between two dogs or a dog with mange and a human will not lead to the healthy dog or human getting infected.

Sarcoptic mange, however, is very contagious to other dogs as well as to humans.

If your dog is itching uncontrollably, fleas are most likely the first culprit to come to mind. Sometimes you can even spot fleas on your dog's fur. But, red and scaly skin without itching is a good indication that you are most likely dealing with demodectic mange mites on your dog.

Sarcoptic mange on the other hand is extremely itchy.

While mange shampoos can help temporarily relieve itching and remove surface mites, they often don’t address the root cause of mange. Pill treatments, like BestLife4Pets Mange Remedy, provide long-term relief by targeting mites internally and supporting the body’s natural healing process, making them more effective for sustained results.

Demodectic mange is not very common in cats, however cats can still get sarcoptic mange or scabies. Sarcoptic mange, usually called canine scabies as it is common in dogs is very contagious and can also infect cats.
