Notoedric mange is a cutaneous ectoparasitic disease of cats caused by Notoedres cati , a mite belonging to the Sarcoptidae family. The disease occurs in felids, occasionally in other mammals and in humans. The canine form, even if cited by some authors, has never been documented. This report describes for the first time a case of notoedric mange in a dog.
