Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Mites are microscopic. If you can see something it isn't mites. Vets diagnose the mites by doing a skin scrape and looking under the microscope. There are 2 types of dog mites: Demodex and Scabies. I treat them with the monthly flea and tick preventatives Nexgard or Simparica or the every 3 month oral Bravecto. I wish you the best!
