Have you noticed that your dog is suffering from grass mites? At alphazoo we give you an overview of what grass mites are, how they can affect your dog and of course, how you can treat them effectively.

What are grass mites?

Grass mites, also known as autumn grass mites, are tiny parasites that are mainly active during the warmer months. They attack our four-legged friends and cause itching and inflammation, which can lead to skin irritation and discomfort for your dog.

Symptoms of grass mites

The typical signs of grass mite bites are extreme itching, irritation and redness of the skin. The areas often affected are the paws, the abdomen, the back and the ears.

Diagnosis of grass mites

Grass mites are diagnosed based on the clinical picture and, if necessary, a skin swab that is examined under a microscope. If you notice itching and redness of the skin on your dog, you should see a veterinarian.

Treatment of grass mites

Treatment for grass mites usually involves topical medications applied to the affected areas to relieve itching and remove the mites. In some cases, oral medication may also be necessary.

Preventing grass mites

The rule for preventing grass mites is to go to less affected areas and to shower your dog thoroughly after a walk. Special dog shampoos and regular use of grass mite spray  can help prevent infestation.

LERN UNS MAL SO RICHTIG KENNEN.

Alpha – was? Klar, der Name mag nach einem epischen Boss-Level klingen, aber lass Dich davon nicht auf eine falsche Fährte locken. Die geheime (altgriechische) Formel dahinter: Alpha: das Erste, Beste, Größte und Zoo: Tier, Lebewesen. Kurzum: Für uns stehen Vierbeiner an erster Stelle. Und wäre es nicht so kitschig, würden wir uns als Zentrale für tierische Lebensfreude bezeichnen (psst, das bleibt jetzt aber wirklich unter uns!).
