Ear mites are highly contagious. Ear mites are relatively common parasites on cats, dogs and other animals. There are many mites in the bedding or on the floor in the family. If you come into close contact with them, they are easy to be infected. If there are other cats or pets in the home, they should be isolated as soon as possible.

Ways to prevent pet ear mites:

1. Environmental disinfection. Clean, disinfect, and expose pet cages, mats, food bowls, water basins and other items that dogs often come into contact with to kill ear mites.

2. Keep your ears dry. Keep your pet's ears dry, and never get in water when taking a bath. As long as the ears get water, more than 80% of them will grow ear mites.

3. Strengthen nutrition and exercise. Usually strengthen the exercise and nutrition of pets to enhance their resistance. Pets with strong resistance can resist the infection of a small amount of ear mites.

4. Regular ear cleaning. Take a bath and clean the ear canal regularly in combination with the pet's physical condition, which can reduce the body's infection by parasites.

5. Regular deworming. It is necessary to deworm pets internally and externally on a regular basis. Regular deworming can also reduce the chance of ear mite infection.
