I think my 2 large dogs have mange and …?
given their size and how much dip it would take to bathe them 2 times a month for 2-3 months I will not be able to afford the dip. Anyone have any home remedies that are SAFE but effective ?? I would appreciate any ideas.
There are no effective home remedies for mange. It’s problematic enough treating it successfully with medications prescribed by a vet. Do you even know which type of mange they have? If not, you need to find out as dips and various medications won’t work for all types of mange. Talk to your vet. about a payment plan and explain your circumstances. Call rescue organizations in your area and see if they’ll give you some assistance with obtaining proper medical attention for your dogs.

Take them either to a groomer and ask them or take to a vet and ask them for sure

Have they been in contact with a dog who has mange? That’s the one that is contagious. The other reason is poor health and bad or no food. This one is not contagious.
This could be allergies to what they are eating.
But if it is mange, there are some otc shampoos at pet stores, but I am unsure how well they work. The vet is your best answer.
