Demodex mites may afflict a puppy during the period of 3-6 months old - exactly when the immune system is compromised due to the change of baby teeth to adult teeth. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=4FADBF4D-1DA4-4BC1-8B73-2B3C4A9CB667 From 6 months of age and older, we recommend American Bulldog owners switch to Bravecto. Bravecto can only be administered to dogs over 6 months of age. It is administered once every 3 months, and just like NexGard, this medication is effective not only against fleas and ticks, but also against demodex mites as a preventative / treatment measure. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=DCAFDC32-0EE0-4BDB-AC0F-DEAB50493708 Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother is great for overall health when administered orally in small quantities distilled in water.
