Canine scabies is an extremely pruritic and contagious skin condition caused by epidermal mite, Sarcoptes scabies var. canis. People became infected in about 50% of canine cases; however, the dermatosis in people usually dissipates spontaneously 2-4 weeks after the animal is treated. Mange thus causes purities, erythema, and popular eruptions. In the present study a total 620 dogs of various breeds and of both sex were examined for the presence of Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis. OF these seventy five (12.9%) were found positive of these dogs 50 were selected for therapeutic trials these were randomly divided into five groups i.e. A, B, C, D and E having ten dogs in each group. These dogs were treated with Ivermectin, Cypermethrin, Nicotiana tobaccum and Azadirachta indica. Efficacy of the drug was calculated on the basis of disappearance of signs, negative skin scraping and subsidence of the skin surface, the result showed that Ivermectin was 100% on 28th day of treatment, followed by Cypermethrin 90%, Nicotiana tobaccum 70%, where as the lowest efficacy showed by Azadirachta indica i.e. 60%.
