Adult fleas live on mammals because they need regular blood meals. However, flea eggs, pupa and larva live in bedding and clothing piles until they become adults.

No! No! No! cat fleas cant live in human clothes! its a scientific fact!!!!!Correction:There are no "cat fleas" - fleas are fleas, and the same ones that get on cats also get on dogs and other animals. The even bite people, but since people don't have fur for them to hide or burrow in, they don't stay on them.And yes, fleas can live in clothing. Fleas can actually live in a sort of suspended animation for a long time, even outside in the cold winter. Then as soon as they detect body heat, they are able to leap onto the body of the animal that's nearby.

What will kill feas on your 10 week old puppie?
If your puppy has fleas then you have a problem that spreads further than the fleas you can see on your puppy. Fleas suck blood form you puppy then jump off into the beading (and your house) that your puppy uses to lay eggs. These eggs hatch into little grubs that live of the debris (skin flakes etc.) in the bedding then when they get big they pupate in crevices in the floor etc before hatching out again as fleas. This means that to get rid of your flea problem you have to get rid of all the stages of the flea. The best defense is to throw out the dogs bedding (and get new), and vacuum the area/house to get up as many of the pupa as possible. You can then turn to the fleas on the dog. The puppy is very young to use chemicals (unless you get them from the vet) so try catching all the fleas with a flea comb twice a day. Stick the fleas you catch into soapy water. After a time of regular vacuuming, shaking the new doc bedding outside each day and catching the fleas on your puppy, the infestation should go away. However if your dog socializes with other dogs he will get more fleas so keep a good eye out for them.
