Mites are not a good thing for dogs. They are a pest and a nuisance.
If you notice your dog is constantly scratching at his ears, shaking his
head, or is even shedding more than usual then he could have some type
of mite or skin parasite. The best thing to do is notify your vet and
take your dog in for a quick exam. Mites in dogs usually come in
different types. The most common is the Cheyletiella mite. This mite is
highly contagious. It is a parasite that feeds on the layers of a dog’s
skin. If your dog has mites you should check your other pets for mites
as well as yourself and other family members. Mites can actually live
off of the host and they can be transmitted to people. Mite infestations
can be similar to flea infestations. Your vet may recommend flea
removal treatments to treat your home for a mite infestation. Learn more here or call your veterinary clinic Lewisville, TX for help.
