Mange in dogs is a skin infection that causes the fur to fall out in patches, as well as the skin to begin producing hard-crusted bumps. Many vet-prescribed medications will have side effects on your dog and can significantly reduce your pet's immune system, which can leave your friend susceptible to other infections and diseases, which is why you may want to look at home remedy options for canine mange.

Shampoos for Infected Areas
-
There is a natural shampoo you can create that will help cure the symptoms of canine mange. To make the shampoo, you will need 10 parts almond oil, one part lavender oil and one part neem oil. Mix these together and apply it to your dog twice a day. Make sure the affected areas receive a heavy application of the medicated shampoo. Allow the oil to dry onto your dog and do not rinse it off.
Vitamin Supplements
-
The dog's mange can be sometimes attributed to a lack of vitamins and minerals. When this is the case, it us usually a deficient amount of vitamins C and E. To replenish the lacking nutrients, you may want to consider giving your dog vitamin supplements. In addition to the vitamin supplements, you can give your dog fish oil extract. The fish oil can help with the itch that is commonly attributed to mange. With the curd itch, your pet's fur may grow back quicker.
Boost Your Pet's Immune System
-
To help cure your pet's mange, you will want to try to boost the dog's immune system. This will increase the bodies ability to fight back infections, including the canine mange. Try to include dandelion, licorice root, nettle or sarsaparilla in your dog's food. These are all different natural roots that can be found at organic food stores (if you can't find the product, you can look for root extracts). All of these roots have natural ingredients that help boost the immune system.
