Human scabies spread to dogs?

I believe that my family and I may have scabies.
The question is however, we have a dog.
I know that the mites that live off of humand and pets are different, and that if mites go from pets to humans they will go away in a few days but is the reverse the same.

Do mites from humans die off on dogs quickly, or must they be treated to go away?

I believe that the dog should be fine, unless you all are suffering from an infestation that the dog brought in.
I am fairly certain that the species barrier works both ways. Should your dog get any of your scabies from bedding, sofa, what have you, I would assume it would be a limited problem and then go away on its own just like the canine mite is self limiting in humans.
This was an excellent question, by the way.
p.s. you can always treat the dog with revolution (the monthy flea application) on the same day that you all are being treated just to be 100% sure you have eradicated it from your home environment. I would clean his bedding the same way you all are cleaning yours. Good luck, I hope you all don't have this pesky mite!

I think its the other way around. the dog gave it to you.

NO! THERE IS NO WAY THAT A DOG CAN SPREAD SCABIES , IF A HUMAN HAS SCABIES ITS CAUSE THEY GOT IT FROM A INFECTED PERSON AND KNOW IT HAS SPREAD TO ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS AND YOU HAVE TO DISINFECT EVERYTHING WITH CLOROX AND TOYS LETTING THEM LAY OUTSIDE IN THE SUN TO KILL THE SCABIES....SCABIES SPREAD BY SHAKING HANDS UN-WASH CLOTHING OR MATTRESS OLD AND DIRTY THAT'S WHERE MITES LIVE...

U can get scabies from your dog. Yes the scabies from your dog would heal on their own but more than likely they will come back. U all need to get to a doctor immediately and get the cream right away. This is highly infectious. I know cause my husband has had this before and is going to the doctor in the morning for it again. More than likely u probably did not get this from your dog. U really probably did get it from an infected person. U pass it by contact such as touching hands and occassionaly clothing and bedding. Take care of this now before u infect others. Another word of advice, don't share gloves with people.
