It’s been 10 days today and the mange is almost gone. I used a combination of DermaPet" Benzoyl Peroxide Plus Shampoo (DermaBenSS); Davis Benzoyl Peroxide Medicated Dog & Cat Shampoo, Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic and Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs, and Nu-Stock. I’ll outline what I did in a second.
Some background: My 10 year old boxer contracted what looked to be demodectic mange. She got bumps on her skin, some large, some smaller. They would start leaking pus, then crust over, and when they scabs came off, she’d have a dark, calloused patch of bald skin. She wasn’t terribly itchy. And she didn’t get stinky. The sores were mostly on her back. Granted, this wasn’t the worst case of mange, by a longshot.
She’d recently had two procedures under general anesthesia and I wasn’t keen on the idea of subjecting her toxic dips and other potentially harmful meds, especially given her age. So first I tried the Listerine & baby oil route. Didn’t really help. Then I switched to Borax, hydrogen peroxide and water. That helped a little, but I had to go out of town for a week and couldn’t treat her. When I got back, she looked worse and had more bald patches. She also had a new oozing sore.
I read up on Amazon and chose the four products I mentioned earlier: DermaPet" Benzoyl Peroxide Plus Shampoo (DermaBenSS); Davis Benzoyl Peroxide Medicated Dog & Cat Shampoo, Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic and Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs, and Nu-Stock.
First, I washed her as directed with the benzoyl peroxide shampoos. These shampoos are supposed to flush the pores out and clean out the gunk. I used this step to essentially prep her skin for the following two steps. FYI – DermaBenSS lathers up more and has a coconut-y scent, but Davis seems just as good. I used a little of both. I didn’t need a lot of shampoo. Just remember, these shampoos don’t lather up like regular shampoo, so don’t keep putting it on thinking you need more. I think of this stuff more like a benzoyl peroxide face wash. (Those don’t really later up either.) I kept the shampoo on for 10 minutes, massaging the shampoo into her fur (not scrubbing – I didn’t want to hurt her). Then we rinsed. It’s very easy to rinse off if you don’t gob it on.
After that, I used the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic and Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs. This one lathers up much more. I think the benzoyl peroxide shampoos really allowed this stuff to get in and work its magic. I followed the directions and kept it on for 15 minutes. It smells medicine-y. Again, massaging it into her fur. After that, we rinsed and towel dried, then pup shook and rubbed against the length of the furniture a dozen or so times.
After she dried off a bit more, I put out a waterproof blanket and got out the Nu-Stock. I read lots of reviews about the smell so I was expecting something horrible. It’s not perfume, that’s for sure, but it’s really not as bad as I expected. It smells pine-y and medicine-y, with a bit of sulfur in there. It dries chalky and it can be greasy, so be careful of your furniture. That’s why I put the waterproof picnic blanket on my bed.
I applied Nu-Stock directly to her new sores and recent scars, but also spread it over her back where there were quite a few recent scabs. I did this by thinning the Nu-Stock with baby oil, and using an old hair dye brush to make sure the solution got in good contact with her skin. The Nu-Stock sticks pretty well, so your pup might look a little odd with the yellow stuff on her coat. Again, I think the benzoyl peroxide shampoo helped prepare her skin so she could get the full benefit of this product.
I repeated this process every three days. On the third and fourth washes, I started using a washcloth to make sure every part of her skin was cleaned properly. Again, not scrubbing, just washing gently. All told, she’s been washed and treated with Nu-Stock 4 times. And OH WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
1. No new sores have popped up, for the first time since she contracted this horrible condition
2. The open sores have healed with new pink skin, not the dark, calloused hard skin that usually appeared when scabs fell off
3. Hair is growing back nicely – even on the older scars
This treatment actually makes her coat shiny. Today, she actually seemed like she felt better after her bath – she was romping around like a puppy.
I am so grateful to these companies for their amazing products. I think using all these products in tandem made for my pup’s quick recovery. I’m never going without these. As long as I have a fur baby, my cupboard will be stocked with these fantastic products!

Amazing bundle
The orange one the antiseptic smells good like fruit and fresh. It helps with the scaly skin on the back of my dog. Also with the irritated skin on his chest. The violet one the anti parasitic helps with my grandmother dog that hasn't hair because of a shampoo change she did. The dog is looking better and has more hairs growing with the use of the shampoo. The ingredients and quality of the shampoos are great. I prepared a bottle with half water and the amount I think is enough for using on my dog and helps me save on the product and to make more bubbles when applying it in the bath of my dog. The reason I do it is because if I don't mix it before applying it on the hair I need to use half a bottle on one bath on my dog that is a German and Husky Mix so he has a double coat and weights like 90 pounds.

Well two of my three dogs had mites - itching and losing hair with scabby skin following (plus bald / thin patches). It was really distressing me to witness this I was at my wits end.

I had loads of really good suggestions and most of my friends thought it was fleas - it wasn’t tho and I would’ve known if it was - I’ve had animals all my life there was just no signs: no flea dirt, nothing and no bites so I went with my gut opinion (mites)
I got nexguard from the vets which they said would work and it didn’t do a single thing! (£70 down)..
I used a particular herbal shampoo with my dogs and that definitely helped but just a few days later it kicked off again...
Dietomaceous Earth seems to soothe but didn’t cure I’m afraid to say and it leaves your room as if you’re living on the moon with a fine white film over absolutely everything which was a bit of a nightmare!! Plus With all the itching they were doing there was hair all over the place as well so I’ve had to really keep on top of things
And then even my third dog yo-yo started getting attacked urgh (That’s a photo of him there finally at peace with no itching)
I really researched it and this is the Shampoo I now recommend
Its definitely stopped the itching dead in its tracks
I’m going to use it again, as directed, in a few days time, I’ve also washed everything connected to my dogs at 60° and hoovered thoroughly! 
it’s not cheap (£29.99), but it seems to be effective and at the same time doesn’t have dangerous ingredients (although not herbal either)
it’s good for parasitic and fungal infections it also promotes healing!  
They feel super soft and clean! Smell good too!
So good to find this - a few of my pals had had problems which seem to be long-term and this seems to have stopped it dead in its tracks but reading the very positive reviews - no harmful side-effects (or very rare).
Surprisingly you don’t always come up with these things when you first search - quite often you have to read through forums to find what is highly recommended (and then you can find them!).
Right now all three dogs are asleep on the settee after a nice long walk - with not a sign of an itch I can’t tell you how good this feels!  all I’ve got to do now is wait for their hair to grow back in the little patches that came up! A WINNER!!
