No, but the fleas can feed on the dog's blood. After 24 -48 hours a female flea will lay eggs with the blood feces which falls off the dog which, re-starts the life cycle.

Can fleas cause staph infection on dogs?

Yes, fleas can indirectly contribute to staph infections in dogs. When a dog is infested with fleas, the constant scratching and biting at the skin can lead to breaks in the skin barrier, creating an entry point for bacteria like Staphylococcus.
