Does anyone know how to get rid of mites on a dog without taking them to a vet?
I have tried just about everything and the mites just keep coming back. It's cost me a fortune a the vets and I really can't afford it anymore . I sure could use someone elses advice. Please let me know as soon as possible Thank You.

My dogs have suffered from ear mites. After getting a diagnosis of ear mites from my vet, this is what I did: The main thing is to thoroughly clean your dog's ears to remove wax, dead skin, and dirt before treatments. Use cotton to gently put mineral oil in your dog's ears a couple of times a week. To eradicate the mites you have to continue the treatment through the entire mite life cycle and that takes up to 4 weeks, so you have to be patient and consistent.

I also gave my dogs light flea baths during the four weeks. I treated both dogs even though only one seem to be infected because the mites can travel from one dog to another.

Also, a word of warning: if your dog's ears start smelling badly, contact your vet, because it could be an infection.

Revolution has completely cleared my dog of sarcoptic mites. It's been a great relief because the scratching was just becoming unbearable for him. Give it a try!
