About Dog Mange Lice Shampoo Cure

Dogs with lice or mange have irritated skin that causes them to itch.

Dogs infected with mange or lice have symptoms that can include skin irritation, hair loss, skin wounds and anemia. Mange and lice can be cured with medicated shampoos or dips.

Mange

Caused by a mite that burrows in the skin of a dog, mange can result in rashes that cover the entire body, causing severe itching or a localized rash with minimal itching.

Remedy

Mixes that can be combined with a dog's regular shampoo can be purchased over the counter and are very effective.

Lice

Lice can be contracted when one dog encounters another dog with a lice infestation. Lice are flat, small parasites that do not have wings. Lice cause general itchiness and small wounds.

Treatment

To treat your lice-infected canine, purchase a shampoo that contains pyrethrin.

Dips

Dips can also be used to treat mange or lice in an open and well-ventilated area. Some dogs may have allergies to these products and it is recommended to have your pet checked for skin allergies before completing this treatment.
