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.




Male fleas do not bite, only the females do. The blood being sucked in is the female's diet adn her children; she delivers part of it back to her babies

What kills 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.
