Parasites

Ear mites are non- burrowing mites with 8 legs, and infect dogs and cats.

The ear mite lives on the skin in the outer surface of the ear canal.

Ear mites are highly contagious and can pass easily from one infected pet to another with direct contact, and constant re-infestation can be an issue.

Young animals are most susceptible, but all age groups can be affected. Cats may not show any signs of the ear mites, but the signs may become apparent at any time. Ear mite infestation causes irritation and pets may rub or scratch their ears.
