Dogs can certainly carry staph infections. This then means that dogs can definitely carry the staph infection and pass it to humans.
They are highly infections, not just to dogs, but to humans as well.

No. Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship where the host is neither harmed nor helped by the guest.But fleas are harmful to dogs. Fleas cause allergic dermatitis, and the scratching which that leads to can cause infection. They are carriers of several parasites, most notably tapeworm. And in cases of heavy flea infestation, the bites can cause substantial blood loss.
Dogs can have fleas all right, & they can cause problems such as tapeworms. (Also, "FLEES" is actually spelled FLEAS.)Hope this helps.=Dominique, an 11 year old girl=
Yes, fleas can and do carry diseases that can infect dogs. The most common flea-borne disease of dogs in the United States is tapeworms. This is why a monthly flea/tick preventive medication is a good idea.
We all have staph!Yes dogs and cats have staph living on their skin... But so do all humans. Staph is a normally occurring bacteria. The problem is when it is introduced into a wound or begins growing in an area that is weakened because of a cut or disease. A staph infection is a colony of staph bacteria that is not being killed by our normal immune system. ANSWER #2Yes, everyone/animal does. If the body's immune system is down and exposure turns into an infection, (strept throat is easily cured with a gargle of 1/8 tsp of cayenne - MRSA with turmeric/baking soda paste with a turmeric capsule taken internally as a kicker), herbal products will not mess up the body's natural flora like antibiotics will.
An army of fleas attacked our dogs,explain it?
Yes.
Well, fleas use to carry the bubonic plauge which killed 1/3 of the population in Europe that won't affect cats/dogs. If your /dogshas had fleas for a while it can become allergic to a flea bite and heavy infestation can cause annemia. but the chances are it will just cause the cat/dog some discomfort!
They bite which is a cut that is irritating and can become infected and some carry disease
Fleas will nest under the fur of a dog and cause he/she to itch.
