Dogs with long mites generally have the following causes: first, bathing dogs too often, resulting in their cuticle thinning, lack of moisture in the skin, so that the barrier function of the skin is reduced. Secondly, mites are often found in carpets, pillows and other furniture items. Dogs are not fully blown dry after bathing and damp fur tends to breed mites. Thirdly, mites are extremely contagious, and dogs staying outside in dirty places or coming into contact with other dogs suffering from mites are prone to mites.
