Yes, fleas can indirectly contribute to staph infections in dogs. When a dog is infested with fleas, the constant scratching and biting at the skin can lead to breaks in the skin barrier, creating an entry point for bacteria like Staphylococcus. These bacteria can then infect the damaged skin, potentially leading to a staph infection. Proper flea control and management of skin health are important in preventing such infections.
