How do you find out if a dog has fleas?

Answer 1

You can do it by simply opening a part of dog's coat and search for fleas. There are available shampoos to cure fleas on dogs. So instead of picking all fleas in your dog's body, just use a shampoo on your dog.

Answer 2

Your dog with fleas will start to scratch itself and lick itself much more than usual. You can also try to look at your dogs skin, or run a flea comb through and if you see any black specks immediatly wash it off. These black specks are often called "flea dirt" and are essentially digested blood expelled from the adult fleas. Don't be afraid when you see red or orange when washing your dog or the flea comb, that just means the dirt is coming off.

The most effective way of getting rid of fleas is to use one of those once a month flea medications such as Frontline, Advantage or Advocate. The best, most effective brands can be bought from your vet. These are a once a month flea medication that will prevent fleas & ticks from getting on him or her for a month. You apply it topically. Combing the dog regularly will remove dead or dying fleas, and should be done until no more fleas can be seen. Washing the dog using a flea shampoo for dogs is also another method for helping getting rid of fleas.

As well as treating your dog, you need to treat the house, too. Flea eggs and larvae can spend many months hiding in carpets, bedding and other fabrics and even between floorboards. Daily vacuuming will get rid of many, but be sure to either place a cut-up flea collar in the vacuum bag, or throw away the bag after each use; the bag can be a breeding ground for fleas. Washing bedding and other fabrics very regularly helps also. There are many flea-killing sprays or chemical "bombs" on the market which are said to also help in treating the house.
