Is it safe to touch a two month old golden retriever, that has been on a scabies treatment for two weeks? Treatment does consist of a special bath, antibiotics and two shots?!!

Can you catch scabies from a dog or cat?

Dogs and Cats are infected by different types of mites than those which infect humans. Animals are not a source of spread of human scabies. Scabies on dogs is called mange. When canine or feline mites land on human skin, they fail to thrive and produce only a mild itch that goes away on its own. This is unlike human scabies which gets worse and worse unless the condition is treated.

I found this on a article site:

Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by the underlying mites. These mites live a lifecycle of 21 days and it would spread to the other parts of the body, if left untreated. These mites have a longer life cycle when they reside on the dog’s body as a host. Once they are transferred to the human host, they would have a shorter life span and would die immediately. More often than not, humans happen to be the accidental hosts of the mites.

Mites’ infestation is spread from one host to another through direct skin contact. These mites cause scabies on dogs and hence they must be removed, so as to treat the dogs from the condition. To begin with, it has to be remembered that the dog’s environment must be kept clean at all times.

Symptoms of scabies on dogs first appear on the ears, elbows, chest and the genital area. Signs also include red bumps on the skin, known as the emulsions, which are itchy and painful. The bumps can harden on the skin and would also become crusty if the dog scratches the skin. In a few severe cases, the dog might also become thin and unhealthy. Scabies on dogs is identified through the symptoms portrayed by the animal.

Moreover, Incognito Scabies is a condition which might mislead the diagnosis done through scrapping the skin. The best way to treat scabies on dogs is to perform the lime-sulphur dip and wash the dog with miticide shampoo. There are chances that the prescribed drugs might have some side effects on the dogs.


There are numerous different ways to kill scabies naturally instead of using dangerous chemicals such as permethrin. If your looking to kill your scabies with 3 items from your grocery store within 24 hours you should visit http://ScabiesHomeTreatment.com

I am not even sure if dogs can get dog scabies, from my understanding they can only be a carrier of the mite. I am not 100% sure but I think dogs just get a different form of mange that humans can not receive vs versa.

Yeah dogs and cats can only carry scabies to a person, I think with any kind of mite they have specific preferences for a host, the scabies preferring human as a host, bird mites prefer birds as hosts, rat mites prefer rats as a host, so basically anything those types of mites that are not on the specific host can only last a month or so. I think dogs and cats get some kind of mange mite, which is like a dog scabies mite, typically you will see them with lots of hair loss, this would be the first sign a dog or cat has mange, and no humans can not get mange!
