To be simple:The flea is the parasite and the dog is the host.
there is really no difference.....most people say dog hair is what it is called when it falls off the dog and fur when it is on the dog...dogs with short fur/hair get less fleas then dogs with long fur/hair.... dogs also with white or light fur get more fleas then dogs with dark or black fur...
Dogs/fleas is an example of a Host/parasite relationship.
The relationship between dogs and their fleas is not symbiotic as the dog gains no benefit from it whatsoever. The relationship is purely parasitic.
It is a parasite - host relationship. The fleas as parasites living off of the dog as a host.
An army of fleas attacked our dogs,explain it?
Some dogs can. Not all dogs.
Fleas make dogs suffer. They dont help one bit...
Fleas can transmit tapeworms to dogs, but not roundworms, hookworms or whipworms.
Neither ! Fleas will feed on any warm-blooded animal (including humans !) - Dogs will survive quite happily without fleas.. and vice-versa !
I do not have fleas, but it is possible for humans to fleas. Usually though fleas stick to dogs and cats etc.
Yes, lavender is known to repel fleas on dogs due to its strong scent that fleas find unpleasant.
