What specific diet did you give to your yorkie with demodex?
You cant prevent the mites all dogs have them. To get mange the dogs immune system gets down and the mites rapidly reproduce and that causes the mange. I dont see anything wrong with giving an immune system booster though. I love the name Boogie Man it reminds me of that old KC and the Sunshine Band song. I think your doing a really good job caring for Boogie Man
