Did you know that dogs like the Beagle can get mites? Mites are similar to ticks in that they are both small arthropods that belong to the same scientific family. The typical mite also known as the Cheyletiella mite is a highly contagious parasite that feeds on the layers of a dog’s skin. If your Beagle has mites you should check your other pets for mites as well as yourself and other family members. Mites are known to live off of other hosts and are transmittable to humans. If you are faced with an infestation of mites you should treat it similar to a flea infestation. Your vet may recommend mite treating products, which are most often the same ones used to treat fleas. You should also ask for recommendations on treating your home, bedding, pet’s bedding, etc. Learn more here or call your vets Burlington, ON.
