For Dog Lice, Use Dog Lice Water Or Yeast Tablets

Shih Tzu 　Lice are difficult to detect in puppies, especially long-haired dogs. They often scratch itchy areas and bite their fur, and if they are not suffering from a skin condition such as eczema, most of them have lice. Lice live by sucking blood and are parasitic on the outside of the body. They are also a major source and vector of skin diseases in puppies and adult dogs and can be very disruptive to a dog’s health. It is important to keep an eye on your dog for lice at all times.

        If your puppy has lice, you can use a lice lotion that can be applied to the entire dog’s coat after rinsing the conditioner and water during a wet wash, but the lotion should be diluted in a ratio of one tablespoon to 12 litres of water. Once applied, do not rinse with water to allow the medicine to penetrate the coat for control.

　　Some puppies, like Pekingese, should not be wet-washed. These long-haired puppies can be treated with a spray or powder.

　　First comb the coat backwards from the tail to the head and then spray the spray directly onto the coat at a distance of about 15 to 20 cm, avoiding the eyes and mouth. An even spray for 8 seconds is usually sufficient. For those weighing less than 3 kg, spray for just a second. If using a powder, the coat should also be backcombed first and then sprinkled evenly over the coat and combed off after half an hour. During this time, the puppy should be watched so that it does not lick the powder from its body.

　　Also some people have tried using yeast tablets. For every 10 pounds of dog weight, a plant of yeast powder can be processed into the food daily, which also acts as an anti-tick.
