Ringworm in dogs is one of the most common skin diseases and spreads quickly. Early action is crucial, as the infection is contagious and can severely affect the skin and coat.

Typical symptoms of ringworm in dogs include:

• Redness, itching, or inflammation
• Flaky or dry skin
• Bald spots or hair loss
• Reddened or irritated paw pads
• Strong odor due to bacterial overgrowth

Symptoms of ringworm in dogs should be taken seriously. A veterinary examination is absolutely necessary before using a complementary care product like Doderm Hydro Repair Gel.

Causes: Ringworm in dogs

Ringworm in dogs is caused by dermatophytes, which are specific fungi that settle in the upper skin layer. A healthy skin microbiome can limit its spread.

Main causes at a glance:

• Moisture: Wet or sweaty areas provide ideal growth conditions for fungi
• Weakened immune system: Dogs with a weakened immune system are more susceptible
• Skin injuries: Small scratches or wounds facilitate the penetration of fungi
• Contagion: Contact with infected animals, surfaces, or soil
• Microbiome imbalance: A disturbed balance of the skin flora promotes fungal growth

Understanding the causes helps to recognize ringworm in dogs early and take appropriate measures.
