The dogs blood is the flea's diet. As like every living organism, the flea needs to eat to survive and its diet is dog blood. So it climbs on dogs and feeds on their blood through their skin. Fleas can have a negative influence on the dogs health because much of the nutrition we feed the dog would end up in the flea's system and your dog would never grow as well as it can.




Male fleas do not bite, only the females do. The blood being sucked in is the female's diet adn her children; she delivers part of it back to her babies
