how did you find out he has demodex? Diet will NOT improve the situation. Mange is caused by MITES on the skin. Dogs have these mites at all times (people do too) when there is an outbreak of them, you will see hair loss in the pet. Your dog must be dipped with a solution that will kill the mites. This may take a month or two.
