What Causes Ear Mites?
Ear mites in dogs are very contagious and can be picked up through contact with other animals. In canines, they are frequently passed on from mother to her young and are often picked up at socialization or training classes in dogs. Because it is so contagious, if one pet has been diagnosed with ear mites, it is important to have all the pets in the household treated at the same time. Unlike the name suggests, ear mites can live anywhere on your dog’s body, and so when treating ear mites, it is important to treat your pet’s entire body, not just the infested ear.
