Fleas are small insects that can cause a great deal of problem to your cat or dog. They normally thrive anywhere from 65-80 degrees temperature and at a humidity level of at least 75-85%. Hence, you will find fleas almost in every environment, any country except maybe the far Lapland or the Antarctic. Dogs as well as cats are prone to diseases caused by fleas. Fleas can infest dogs and cats with ease as they can transfer from one dog to another. Fleas can’t fly, they can only jump, which they do very well from one animal to another.

Fleas are a problem for dogs and their owners alike. These tiny insects will live on the body of your dog, sucking the animal’s blood and laying eggs. The bites and presence of fleas will cause the dog to itch and if the dog happens to be allergic to fleas (the allergy is technically to the insects’ saliva) it can experience extreme itching, loss of fur in some places, inflammation, and infections. Regardless of whether the dog has an allergy to flea saliva, infestations must be dealt with or they will go on and on and the fleas will also infest your home, other pets, and can even live on humans.
