Your Dog Has Mites. Here’s How to Safely Eliminate Them — Without Toxic Chemicals.

Mange isn’t about dirty dogs or careless owners. It’s a mite infestation — a tiny parasite attacking your dog’s skin — and it can happen to any dog, in any home. If your dog is scratching obsessively, losing hair, or has red, irritated skin, you need an effective mange treatment for dogs that’s safe, natural, and pesticide-free. Happy Dog Naturals and Mite Avenge® deliver exactly that.

Mite Avenge® is a powerful, chemical-free topical mange treatment for dogs. It’s part of a complete, holistic system designed to eliminate mites and restore your dog’s health — safely and naturally. Thousands of dog owners have used our system to heal their dogs without the fear of toxic side effects.

What Mange Is — and Why Your Dog Isn’t to Blame

Bottom line: Mange is caused by mites, not neglect. Understanding this changes everything about how you approach treatment.

Most dog owners freeze when they hear the word “mange.” It sounds alarming, even shameful — as if it reflects poorly on how well they’ve cared for their dog. It doesn’t.

Mange is simply what happens when mites — microscopic parasites — invade your dog’s skin. They cause the skin damage you’re seeing and create a varying list of symptoms, including hair loss, itching, infection, inflammation, sores, and more. It is progressive and, if left untreated, can create a compounding scenario of health issues for your dog. 

It has nothing to do with cleanliness. Nothing to do with how much you love your dog. It’s biology — and it’s treatable.

  • Demodectic mange is caused by Demodex mites that live naturally in hair follicles — an immune system issue, not contagion
  • Sarcoptic mange is caused by Sarcoptes mites that burrow under the skin — highly contagious, intensely itchy
  • Cheyletiella mange is caused by surface-dwelling mites sometimes called “walking dandruff” — contagious

Why Mite Avenge Works — and Why It’s Different

Bottom line: Mite Avenge® is ruthless on mites and gentle on your dog — no pesticides, no toxins, no fear.

Mite Avenge® was born out of desperation. Our dog had mange. Conventional treatments had failed, and the chemical options terrified us. So we developed our own natural remedy — and it worked beyond anything we expected. That’s how Happy Dog Naturals began.

Today, Mite Avenge® is a carefully formulated, pesticide-free topical treatment that has changed the lives of thousands of pet owners worldwide. It is:

  • Pesticide-free and chemical-free — no harsh dips, no neurotoxins, no systemic drugs
  • Formulated for power — not watered down or compromised for cost
  • Proven by thousands of families — across all three types of mange
  • Made with love — because we know what it feels like to watch your dog suffer

Conventional mange treatments often involve neurotoxic pesticides and chemicals with serious side-effect risks. The EPA has documented thousands of adverse incidents from pesticide-based pet treatments, including nervous system effects, seizures, and skin damage.

We believe there’s a better way — and we’ve proven it works.

The Happy Dog Naturals Complete System

Bottom line: Treating mites topically is only part of the answer. Our complete system addresses the whole picture — and that’s why it works when other approaches fail.

Mange isn’t solved with a single product. Deep research has shown that true, lasting recovery requires addressing the full picture: eliminating active mites, supporting skin healing, and — especially for Demodectic mange — rebuilding immune system strength.

That’s why Happy Dog Naturals is a complete system, not just a bottle of treatment:

    • Mite Avenge® — our flagship topical treatment that targets and eliminates mites directly
    • Immune support products — because Demodectic mange is fundamentally an immune system failure; treating without immune support is treating half the problem
    • Skin & wound care — to help damaged skin heal faster and stay healthy
    • After-mange care — to protect your dog’s recovery and prevent recurrence
    • Education and guidance — we’re with you every step of the way, so you know exactly what to do, step by step

We’re specialists. Mange is all we do. That focus means everything we’ve built is designed specifically to help your dog heal.

What our Customers Say

Bottom line: Real dogs. Real recoveries. Real families who didn’t give up.

“Wow! I am totally in awe. My 7 year old pit bull mix has demodectic mange. I am not a fan of chemicals so we chose Mite Avenge.

After one treatment I can already tell a difference. Seeing some hair growth already! He looks and smells so much better.

I am so thrilled that I could literally cry.”

S. Knight-Brown

“Our puppy got sarcoptic mange at 6 months old. His scratching and biting became uncontrollable and he started loosing hair. I worked as a vet assistant so after administering many dip treatments I knew first hand what they do & wanted no part of them.

Thank God I found your site! After 3 treatments he is already looking SO much better. I can’t thank you enough for your products!.”

Frequently Asked Questions

BOTTOM LINE The answers dog owners need most — before they buy, and while they’re healing.

It depends on the type. Sarcoptic mange mites can cause irritation in humans and can spread between dogs. Demodectic mange is not contagious — it develops from a dog’s own mite population. Cheyletiella can spread between pets and cause mild skin reactions in humans. If you suspect Sarcoptic or Cheyletiella mange, isolate your dog from other pets.

Many dog owners treat successfully at home with Mite Avenge® — especially for Demodectic and Sarcoptic mange. That said, a vet’s diagnosis is always valuable for confirming which type of mange you’re dealing with. Our site has detailed guidance for each type to help you treat effectively.

Results vary depending on the type and severity of mange and how consistently treatment is applied. Many customers report visible improvement within the first few treatments. Full recovery, especially for Demodectic mange, can take several weeks to months — but our system is designed for complete resolution, not just temporary relief.

Mite Avenge® is pesticide-free and formulated to be gentle enough for dogs six weeks of age and older.

We’re specialists — mange is the only thing we treat. Our complete system addresses not just mite elimination, but immune support and skin healing. And everything we make is pesticide-free, chemical-free, and formulated for real results — not just symptom management.
