A two-year-old beagle dog case was presented with the history of severe itching, alopecia, hair loss and erythematous crusts all over the body for the past one month. On clinical examination, lesions found all over the face, forelimbs, hindlimbs and over the spine region. Deep skin scraping revealed the presence of Demodex canis mites. The dog was treated with doramectin, external application of amitraz with supportive therapy. The dog recovered uneventfully without any side effects after 7 weeks.
