dog fleas hide behind the neck of the dog because it is one of the wamer places on the dog and fleas love warm places filled with blood
One effective home remedy for fleas on dogs that involves apple cider vinegar is to mix equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto your dog's fur, focusing on areas where fleas are most likely to hide, such as the neck, back, and tail. The acidity of the vinegar can help repel fleas and soothe your dog's skin. Be sure to avoid spraying near your dog's eyes and mouth.
Its probably the only way for her to scratch her neck.
The dog needs to go visit his or her vet and get a flea shot which is a smelly odor that is applied to the back of his or her neck which takes about 48 hours to rid of the fleas.
A dog fleas habitat is the dog itself.
yes, if your dog has fleas
You should mostly check in the most hairy places on your animal, such as the neck, back, and underside. Another great place to check is near the animals tail; fleas love to hide in areas of dense fur, so be sure to comb these areas with a flea comb, if possible. Fleas are not easily seen by the naked human eye so using a flea comb is a quick and painless way to check your dog's coat for fleas.
I don't know, but if the dog has fleas, you should be able to see them, or at least the "flea dirt" they create. If you see dark colored "stuff" on the dog, wet it. If it turns dark red, it's flea dirt, and the dog has fleas. Maybe all it needs is Frontline or Top Spot, or Advantage.
While cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and dog fleas (Ctenocephalides cannis) are two different species, most of the fleas found on dogs are actually cat fleas.

no. your dog doesn't have fleas...you do!
use a flea comb to get rid of fleas on you dog. If you want also you can use dog shampoo ang get rid of fleas that way.
Yes. They jump off and into the carpet, etc. furniture. One way to eliminate fleas on the dog is to bathe them, neck down, then do the head. You may see the fleas going down onto the nose or into the ears. I use Eucalyptus soap, but as long as you use soap and water it will drown the fleas. Vacuum a lot, and dispose of the bag immediately to the trash. Soap works faster and more safely than pesticides with fleas. Be sure to lather up the dog or cat and don't hurry to rinse off... let the fleas absorb into the lather, then rinse. Shampooing will eliminate the live fleas, pesticide will not; it weakens them (and your dog).
