Answer 1

Sounds like he has fleas, not lice, fleas are red from drinking the animals blood. You need to take him to the vet, don't waste money in pet shops as the stuff never works and they will try to sell you everything they have! it is cheaper in the long run to pay the higher prices in the vets.

Also you will need to treat your home as fleas can live in the carpets and furniture. Their eggs can lay dormant for up to two years and you need to spray and vacuum regularly!

My dog got them and i learnt the hard way, spent a fortune in the local pet shop and they just didn't go. Went to the vet and they were gone within a week!

Answer 2

You can get a dog dose at the vets.
It is a lot better than the old fashioned tablet that they had to swallow.
It's called frontline.
It's for dogs and cats.
It comes in a little plastic pouch and its only a few drops.
You break the tip off,
Part you dogs hair on his back between the shoulder blades and pour the frontline onto the skin.
You cant pet the dog for 24 hours afterwards.

I find it very effective for my dogs.
It's for lice, fleas and worms.

There are two types of dog lice that exist: The first type of dog lice concentrates on biting the skin and feeding on skin flakes; the other type of dog lice feed on your dog's blood. Blood sucking lice causes severe irritation because they penetrate the skin of your dog in order to feed.

Signs that your dog is infected with dog lice are heavy, intense scratching, and irritation that often results in bald patches. Dog lice are usually found on the area around the ears, neck, shoulders, and anus. Although dog lice are relatively large, you are more likely to spot their eggs in your dog's hair. Lice eggs (nits) are easier to see because they are attached to the dog's hair and look like white tiny flakes of dust.

Treating dog lice is relatively simple and easy due to the fact that they have not built up a resistance to insecticides. Your vet will more likely recommend an insecticide spray or bath to kill them. He may require you to cut off matted hair and wash your dog about once every week with the insecticide.

This procedure is then repeated until the itching is gone and there are no more visible lice eggs. If you have a puppy that is infected with lice, consult your vet first before starting on any kind of pesticide treatment or other type of medication.

To prevent further lice infestation and make sure that all the lice eggs have been completely eliminated, it is a wise idea to throw away all bedding that your dog has lain on during lice infestation and to disinfect the area where he sleeps.

Dog lice - When it is time to see the vet

Chances are that you have noticed lately that your dog's new favorite hobby is scratching himself in at least three places at once. When you part his coat to examine what is causing the itch and excessive scratching, you notice tiny white dust-like particles that are attached to the hair shafts. What are these tiny particles and why are they causing your dog to itch?

Your dog is suffering from lice infestation. Dog lice are six legged parasites that feed either on your dog's flesh or their blood, triggering intense itchy reactions. The tiny white particles that are attached to his hair are lice eggs or nits. Although dogs rarely get lice and it is actually more common for people to get human lice, dog lice is still out there and our dogs are not immune to them.

One tiny louse cannot kill your dog, but once that tiny louse decides to invite all his louse friends to live off of your dog, then your pet could literally be eaten alive. If your dog is suffering from a severe case of lice, he could lose about one quarter of his blood volume within months, causing severe anemia or shock.


Lice only live on dogs whereas fleas can temporarily jump onto humans. In case of a lice infestation, an insecticide bath is recommended, which will be repeated as many times as you veterinarian indicates you to do so, as their eggs, stuck to the hair, are not easily removed by most products on the market. Luckily though, lice are not common nowadays amongst well-cared dogs.

Suggestion: You can ask your veterinarian to give you a preparation which acts internally. The dog will then, so to speak, remain impregnated and, when the louse bites, it will absorb a mortal toxic substance. That way your dog´s torturers will, slowly but surely, go dying.

very little red dot looking things are probably chiggers. especially if you live in the country these are very common and annoying and itchy to pets and humans. try finding a bug spray that is safe for use on animals, something similar to Off bug spray.
