Demodectic mange is a condition caused by different species of Demodex mites. Demodex mites are present on the skin of all normal animals, including people, and usually exist in small numbers within the hair follicles. Demodectic mange is considered non-contagious since all dogs already have these mites. Canines are not born with the mites but acquire them from their mothers in the first few days of life, probably during the nursing process.
The Cause: If Demodex mites are present on all normal dogs, why do some animals develop demodectic mange and most do not? Animals with demodectic mange may have an inherited or acquired immune defect that fails to keep the mite numbers in check. The result is a demodectic mite population explosion which not only crowds the hairs within hair follicles and results in bacterial infections, but the mites produce other substances that then further compromise the immune system. These mites are normal residents on the skin ( in small numbers) and reflect an underlying important defect of the immune system. The spread of mites is therefore an effect, rather that a cause, of the condition. Attention should always be focused on the cause of the immune deficit rather than merely how to get rid of the mites. In young animals the condition reflects an inherited deficiency of the immune system.
If your dog has only one small patch on the muzzle or around the eyes we recommend you give our Immune Boosting Herbal Tincture. As your dogs immune system develops this will clear up naturally. If there are 3 or more patches on the skin then our Mange Kit has provided many dog owners with satisfactory results even with generalized mange. Feeding a home prepared diet is one of the best ways to boost the immune system of your puppy!

See your vet if the mange spreads to other parts of the body (generalized mange)- this indicates another underlying problem such as genetic immune deficiency, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, cancer, etc. that has weakened the immune system, allowing the mites to thrive.
