    From CSJ , Skinny Oil Spray ? It contains Neem oil , all natural and has great recommendations for mites , fleas etc .
    Both dogs have been very itchy recently, but nothing visible,no fleas , no change of food etc . I`m told that Harvest Mites are really bad right now and cant be seen by the naked eye and that this spray is a good repellent , have ordered some x

    They arent ear mites Lisa, they are tiny pesky little blighters that make their whole bodies itch :)

    Kate, have you actually seen any harvest mites on Sam? I keep reading about harvest mites in connection with canine seasonal illness, a very serious potentially fatal condition. Vets are advising to use frontline spray to kill the mites.

    No Heidrun , I havent seen anything at all, on either of them . I did read though that Harvest Mites are not visible to the human eye ? I had also read from the AHT that there may be a link to the seasonal illness , all a bit worrying but as far as I`m aware , there havent been any reported cases down here .
    Barbara , if you Google Animal Health Trust , there is a very in depth article about Seasonal Canine Illness and possible link to mites xx
