Is there a difference between dog hair and dog fur do fleas avoid dogs with hair but not dogs with short fur?
there is really no difference.....most people say dog hair is what it is called when it falls off the dog and fur when it is on the dog...dogs with short fur/hair get less fleas then dogs with long fur/hair.... dogs also with white or light fur get more fleas then dogs with dark or black fur...
Can Short Haired Dogs Get Fleas?
Fleas can indeed infest short-haired dogs. Fleas can live on dogs of any hair length or hair color. They can also infest many other types of animals, including cats, ferrets, rabbits, and rodents. Fleas are external parasites that bite and feed on the blood of animals. They are also capable of biting and feeding off of the blood of people. These parasites are problematic because they can cause a variety of illnesses for both animals and people. Many animals are allergic to fleas and the resulting skin disease can be painful for them. In addition, fleas can cause localized areas of hair loss, inflammation and scabs known as "hot spots". Tapeworms can be carried by fleas and passed to animals that become infested with fleas. Fleas also play a pivotal role in the transmission of diseases such as plague and cat scratch disease.
