How to Remove Mites from Dogs

Many pet owners have asked me before, "Our dog was diagnosed with mites at the hospital, and the doctor said that's why our dog has those bumpy spots on its body. What should we do at home to deal with this?" Today, I'd like to introduce some methods to address this issue.

1. Upon returning home, separate your dog from other family members to avoid contact. Remember to wash your hands frequently if you need to feed your dog or apply medication to it.

2. Regularly expose home furnishings, such as sofa covers and bedding, to sunlight. Ultraviolet rays can help disinfect them.

3. Many households use devices to remove mites. These small, portable devices are easy to use. Just plug them in and they'll work in a single room without producing any smell or noise.

How to Prevent Mites:

  • Pay attention to your dog's daily hygiene and keep the kennel clean.
  • Avoid letting your dog contact sick animals and try to minimize outdoor activities on dirty grass, especially during peak infectious season.
  • Enhance disinfection and hygiene measures. According to veterinarians, mites exist in every dog, but they only multiply and cause disease under appropriate conditions.

What to Note When Your Dog Is Infected with Mites:

  • Mite infections are related to poor immune function. Therefore, improving your dog's physical condition is essential for recovery.
  • Take special care of your dog's diet during illness. Ensure it doesn't go hungry and can eat more frequently if needed.
