Dog mite disease mainly occurs in the season from April to October, especially when the weather is relatively humid and dogs live in a dark and unventilated environment, they are easily infected the disease. Since canine mite disease is a contact infection, if you have other animals in the house, you must pay attention to isolation.

1. When purchasing a dog, it must be checked or quarantined for a period of time (20 to 30 days) to confirm whether there is mite disease.

2. Keep the room clean, dry, ventilated and light-transmitting, especially in summer, pay attention to moisture-proof and prevent excessive humidity.

3. Pay attention to daily disinfection, such as cleaning and disinfection of cages and pads, replacement, indoor spray disinfection, etc. Maintain dog skin hygiene and strengthen feeding management.
