Lice Infestation
Parasitic infestation caused by host-specific, wingless insects that live on the skin and hair of dogs and cats.
Key Facts
- Lice are strictly host-specific and rarely survive on humans or other species.
- They complete their entire 21-day life cycle directly on the host animal.
- Infestations occur more frequently in crowded or poorly monitored environments.
- Dogs can be affected by chewing or blood-sucking species, while cats are only affected by chewing lice.
