The dogs blood is the flea's diet. As like every living organism, the flea needs to eat to survive and its diet is dog blood. So it climbs on dogs and feeds on their blood through their skin. Fleas can have a negative influence on the dogs health because much of the nutrition we feed the dog would end up in the flea's system and your dog would never grow as well as it can.
Yes, some people use apple cider vinegar in their dog's water to help repel fleas.
A dog fleas habitat is the dog itself.
yes, if your dog has fleas
If your dog has fleas I wouldn't suggest you use insecticide to get rid of them as it could harm your dog. You can easily obtain flea treatment shampoos and preventative measures to help stop them reappearing from any good pet store. Regularly grooming your dog will help too as you can stop any fleas which you do find. Get rid of them quickly using the appropriate treatment as fleas can lead to other dog health problems such as hair loss if the dog continually scratches in an attempt to find relief from the irritation.
While cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides cannis) are two different species, most of the fleas found on dogs are actually cat fleas.
a dog can have like a lot of fleas. more than 1000.
no. your dog doesn't have fleas...you do!
use a flea comb to get rid of fleas on you dog. If you want also you can use dog shampoo ang get rid of fleas that way.
dog fleas hide behind the neck of the dog because it is one of the wamer places on the dog and fleas love warm places filled with blood
if you dog has fleas you should take it to the vet or call them. flea shampoo will help but the fleas wont go away the first time. the shampoo will get them out but not the first time you use it. and using regular shampoo wont help. and they have different types of products for fleas. you can even go to walmart in the pet section. so good luck!
it depends.....does the dog have fleas?
Some fleas are there but most fleas stay on.
