Are yeast infections of the ear contagious between dogs?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Although yeast infections of the ear aren't contagious between dogs, they can develop into bacterial infections or make your dog susceptible to other fungal and parasitic infections, which may be contagious.


Can dogs get ear infections from other dogs licking their ears?

When two dogs are on friendly terms as part of the same family, they become very comfortable grooming each other. Licking each other's ears is just one way to show that. What's more, it can ward off ear mites, but too much licking can cause irritation and possibly an ear infection.

Can ear infections in dogs spread?

Ear infections are not contagious for humans or other pets. But some parasites, like ear mites, can spread to other pets. If your veterinarian diagnoses your dog with ear mites, you may have to treat all other animals in the household.
