Ring worm is a fungal infection that is slightly contagious to humans, although most adults are immune. It forms a circle on the pet's fur, typically with dryness and hair-loss. Treatment is pretty simple. Your vet can provide a treatment, or you can use a 10% bleach solution on the affected area of the animal. It's not a bad idea to wash the bedding, but probably not required.
If you believe your dog has ring worm it's best to have a skin scrape done. It could also be a different parasite, such as mange, which requires a different treatment.
