Will dawn with bleach alternative get ride of mites on your dog?

Answer 1

There are a number of types of mites that can take up residence on your dog. What works on one type may not work on another. As to Dawn w/ bleach alternative, unless you know your chemistry plus mite and dog pH levels, DON'T do this as the amount of one to the other varies.

A long-time trainer/breeder may be able to give you input for your breed. The best solution is have your Vet diagnose it and press for less expensive alternative treatments.

If you create a "Do it Yourself" treatment and it's off just a bit, you're going to be looking at some really expensive Vet bills and treatment.

You will need to apply a topical anti-parasitic medication to your dog's ears after you cleaned both the external ear and ear canals with an appropriate ear-cleaning solution before applying any ear mite medication.

You can buy an ear mite treatment at larger pet stores. Look for a treatment that contains: pyrethrin, rotenone or fibronil. However, over-the-counter medications that are specifically formulated to treat ear mites usually contain fairly low doses of the active ingredients. Your best best for quick treatment is to get medication from your vet, who can also show you how to clean your dog's ears, if you don't already know how.

Ear mite eggs are often immune to treatment and can hatch after a dog has been treated. They usually hatch within a few weeks of being laid, making it especially important to continue retreat your dog as it says on the package directions, or prescribed by your veterinarian.
