One of the most common contagious parasitic skin diseases is Sarcoptic canine scabies.on-contagious skin infections can result when normal bacterial or fungal skin flora is allowed to proliferate and cause skin disease. Common examples in dogs include Staphylococcus intermedius pyoderma, and Malassezia dermatitis caused by overgrowth of Malassezia pachydermatis. Consult Your Veterinarian.
