Best Answer

Dogs, cats, rodents, and other animals can get fleas from being outside near other animals. Some animals have fleas and an ear mite infection, so check your pet's ears for a build-up of dark mites. If the animal's flea infection gets very bad, they could get anemia. So if your pet has fleas and/or mites a flea dip at the vet is a good idea. Flea eggs can stay in carpet, so vaccuum often.
