Sarcoptic mange is also known as canine scabies. It is a highly contagious infestation of burrowing mites. Sarcoptic mange can also infest humans and cats, although usually not severely, as its natural host is dogs, and it cannot reproduce on other animals. These sarcoptic mange mites dig into and through the skin, causing intense itching and crusting that can quickly become infected. Hair loss and crusting frequently appears first on elbows and ears. Skin damage can occur from the dog's intense scratching and biting. Our Dermicide medicine is the closest thing to a cure-all for sarcoptic mange skin diseases that we offer.
