Mange mites are difficult to detect. Mange skin scrape tests fail to detect mites 80% of the time. That doesn’t mean the dog doesn’t have mange. It means that none were found! (And weirdly, if mites are found, occasionally the wrong mite is named.)
Without a positive diagnosis, mange is rarely a suspect. You’d be surprised how many owners have to solve the mystery on their own.
Chemicals are one-size fits all treatments that are used to same way in every situation. Our natural mange treatments are more effective, safer and faster. The way we use Mite Avenge is different for each kind of mite. That super-focused treatment is one of the reasons Mite Avenge is more effective.
Sarcoptic Mange – also called Canine Scabies
Demodectic Mange – also called Red Mange, Demodicosis, Demodex, or Puppy Mange
Cheyletiella – also called Chyletielllosis or Walking Dandruff
Common symptoms seen in all mange types (one or more may apply):
Itching • Dry skin • Hair loss • Redness • Bumps or bites • Scabs or flakes • Irritation or inflammation • Thickened skin • Lesions • Crusts • Skin discoloration
Consider the symptoms for the three types of canine mange below. If your dog has 3 or more red flag symptoms or indicators (shown in red below) that’s a strong indicator you’ve found the culprit. Orange text indicates a suspicious symptom (almost red).
