Folliculitis

Bacterial folliculitis is a bacterial infection that can cause sores, bumps and scabs on the skin. This type of condition is not found alone, it is often accompanied by mange, allergies or an injury.

Ringworm

Ringworm is a condition caused by a fungus that causes circular patches that can form anywhere. Ringworm is often found on a dog's head, paws, ears and forelegs.

Mange

Tiny parasites called mites cause a skin disorder known as mange. Canine scabies, also known as sarcoptic mange, spreads easily among dogs and can also be transmitted to people, but the parasites don't survive on humans. The symptoms are red skin, sores, intense itching and hair loss.

Fleas

Fleas are the worst nightmare of any pet owner. These tiny critters can be hard to see by the naked eye, but they typically leave droppings or eggs that are usually visible on a dog's coat. Fleas can cause a variety of related conditions, including blood loss and anemia and even expose your dog to other parasites such as tapeworms. 

Ticks

Ticks, like fleas, are external parasites that feed on the blood of your pet. It is important that you take proper precautions when removing ticks. By using tweezers, pull the tick straight out from the dog's skin. This is the safest removal method as any other method can cause infection.
