5 out of 5 stars

My little Howie has terrible skin & losing his hair for about six years now. It's been awful & I have spent hundreds & hundreds for tests, vet treatments that don't work and I am so tired of the suffering & itching with little improvement. I just did her first treatment with Ted's recipe & it helped a lot because he quit itching and is more comfortable, so I will keep going with it. There are no mites that I can tell, just lots & lots of mold on his legs & body, with some on his face & head. Wondering if this is contagious as we have a small shit-zu coming to live with us in a few days as my friend passed & it was her dog. Worried this may affect him as well? I will keep up with the plan because it seems the borax really helped with the itching so he is more comfortable. He sleeps with us & we don't itch & I keep his bedding really clean as well. But does anyone know if it is contagious?

Have you tried ivermectin? It cures mange quite rapidly. I have put it in eggs or donuts for the wild foxes, worked like a charm.

Please do not recommend chemicals or pharmaceuticals that are toxic to dogs and humans. It's time to stop promoting ivermectin. The remedy using borax and peroxide is effective. Additionally, it should be noted that this is a topical remedy. It's also important to provide dogs with a rich and nutritious raw diet, a stress-free environment, and plenty of opportunities for play and exercise.

How much do you give? I've been giving 2ml for my 80lb dog.

Both Ivermectin & Fenbendazole are safe for animals & people. Ivermectin first came available for animals ten humans. You are behind the 8 ball. Joe Tippens beat stage 4 cancer by taking Fenbendazole ( I'd advise cancer patients using chemo toxics for treatment loom Joe Tippen's. Thousands have now survived cancer because of FenBen. Both meds are very safe. Many peeps I know & me have been taking it since 2021 for you know what. I NEVER have been ill & still maintain a dose 1 time each month. So does my hubby & most of our family. It's effective & safe & beats the k*i_ s_ot pushed on the world that has caused sudden & permanent absence of souls.

I run a shelter and swear by Ted's Remedy! And when one has symptoms, I watch the rest very closely for any symptoms starting. Dogs "mouth" each other alot during play and I have seen them pass it to each other this way. If your new doggos show symptoms, no problem simply start treating them, too. Whether it can spread depends on whether it's demodex or sarcoptic mange, but here at the shelter, I do not care what type they have; I treat immediately. That being said, since you've already started treatment, those mites are on the run, and nothing may get passed along at all. I have been treating rescue#6 for a month now and none of the others started showing any symptoms at all. So I would say keep with the treatments and keep a very close eye on the others, but they will probably be okay.

Scarcopic mange is very contagious to pets and to people it is what we call scabies

If it is scarcopic everyone in ur home will itch have rashes ect .u will know. u can't not know if it's scabies

Demodex mange mites are only passed from dog to dog

all dogs have demodex mites they get them from their mom,

It's usually not a problem until the dog gets stressed, the immune system gets compromised, or they are puppies.

I've been fighting and spent so much money on these little rescue dogs, but I think I've got the remedy now.

Also vets will skin scrape even biopsy but they have to get a mite which is almost impossible an they won't diagnose unless they find one. They are super fast and not trying to get scraped up

Kind of a rip off deal with the vet .

U know they know it's almost impossible to get a mite so they keep calling it fungus, allergy's, infections everything under the sun.

And keep charging you

When they treat for these things it gets better for a while antibiotics help because they have secondary infections due to chewing and scratching. anti inflammatory help because the swelling goes down for a bit but underneath it all

the mites are continuing to live breed and eat your dog.

Ted's mange bomb is the only ONLY THING THAT I HAVE FOUND TO WORK

IT'S CONSUMING IN THAT U HAVE TO STICK TO THE SCHEDULE

JUST BATHE YOUR DOG When U SHOWER EVERY OTHER DAY AND SO ON.

U CAN ALSO USE BORAX IN UR MOP WATER OR MIX WITH WATER TO WIPE DOWN DOG KENNELS ECT.

IT WILL WORK GOOD LUCK

Ps I just learned that yeast on a dog caused by them eating foods that cause yeast make the dog extra yummy to mites so a high protein low carb no junk food diet can help fight them off this means little to no people food and nothing white bread tortilla potato's corn stuff like that avoiding these foods make it dog less appetizing to the mites.

Why, Marcela? To be purist? Some mainstream drugs do work well. I live on the edge of wilderness, and two foxes at two different times have come to my door seeking help with mange. Horrible itching, loss of fur in the winter.... So I gave them ivermectin in a donut or a hard boiled egg. It worked. It's a blessing in such a case where topical treatments are not possible.

How much ivermectin to a 100 lb dog? Is this just one dose? Fighting a yeast infection all over the worst on head and neck.. not a lot of hair on neck.

Replied By Lori-Lynn (Windsor, Ontario) on 12/09/2025

Ivermectin is most assuredly 'not' toxic. It is on the W.H.O. List of Essential Medicines and won a Nobel Prize for the inventors. I am surprised that someone from Mexico posted this as your own Government included Ivermectin in their covid kits given to its citizens.

Be careful with ivermectin. Some dog breeds cannot take it.

Replied By Katzie (Cancun, México) on 01/08/2026

Hollyhock, it would be really great if you could tell us which breeds are involved here, otherwise you're kinda just sowing fear. Could you please provide a link to a study or video? I'm not disbelieving you, I just wanna research it myself cuz I have never heard that before anywhere.

Thank you, Hollyhock! I appreciate being able to find that information. I spend alot of time on the AKC site and am surprised I didn't come across this before.

Link below is a list of breeds/dogs affected by the MDR1 gene. Please do read it. One interesting thing is that 70% of Collies are affected, but almost no Border Collies are affected. It's worth a quick look.

It mentions herding dogs, my golden retriever seems to have herding instincts so I will not be using ivermectin on or in her. The vet said she might have some mix in her. 🐕

Would like recipe for Ted's remedy if possible? I have a 100lb Rottweiler with yeast infection mostly on head and neck. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Boric acid capsules in a bath should help kill the yeast infection. I had a 10 pound doxie and I used 3 capsules in a warm bath a few times until it was gone. Yes, they are the same capsules that are made for women with yeast infection.
