Symptoms of sarcoptic mange can vary from dog to dog, but the most common signs are really intense itching and hair loss. The mites prefer areas of skin without hair, so the first place you might notice a problem on your dog could be elbows, armpits, ears, chest, belly, or groin. read more

Left untreated, mites also can cause secondary infections and cause a lot of pain and discomfort to your dog. If you suspect your dog has mites, talk to your vet as soon as possible so he can give you a proper diagnosis and choose the right treatment and course of action. read more

In my practice, if I see a dog that doesn’t have allergies, suddenly develops really intense itching and scratching, and we’ve tried a quick allergy protocol with no improvement, I will automatically suggest that the owners try treating for scabies whether the skin scrape showed mites or not. read more
