It is a parasite - host relationship. The fleas as parasites living off of the dog as a host.
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.
parasitism
Parasitism
Fleas suck the dogs blood, and causes itch. The flea is a parasite to the dog.
It's not a symbiotic relationship ! It's a parasitical relationship. In a symbiotic relationship - BOTH organisms benefit form each other. In a parasitical relationship - only ONE of the organisms benefits - usually to the detriment of the other. Fleas suck blood from dogs - which can make the dog ill. The dog gets no benefit.
fleas are atraccted to dogs cause they live on blood tehee
I would say parasitism - host (dog) and parasite (flea).
To be simple:The flea is the parasite and the dog is the 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...
