Can a horse get mange from dog that has it?

Mange is caused by a variety of mites that live on the skin and feed on the host animal's blood and tissue. Mange is species specific and horses cannot get mange from dogs, even if they come in contact. Horses can develop a mange-like condition called equine demodectic mange, which is caused by a yeast infection, so if a horse is showing symptoms of mange, it is important to consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.
