parasitism
The relationship between a dog and a flea is called parasitism. Parasitism is a relationship between an organism and a parasite in which the parasite needs the organism to live. Without host, adult fleas can only live about two weeks. An example of a close living relationship, like fleas on dogs, is the Oculotrema Hippopotami, which is a parasite that lives in most Hippopotamus' eyes and gets rid of the algae in them. Also, many birds live near Hippos and stand on their backs for a great deal of the day to rest there while catching birds, but they also eat the bugs off of the Hippo's skin.
Some insects, like snow fleas and springtails, can be found on snow surfaces. These bugs have special adaptations to survive in cold environments and can be active even during winter months. They feed on organic matter present in the snow and help with natural decomposition processes.
Some animals like dogs like snow but it depends which animal you are talking about
Snow flea was created in 1846.
To effectively get rid of snow fleas on dogs, you can use a flea comb to physically remove the fleas from your dog's fur. Additionally, you can bathe your dog with a flea shampoo specifically designed for dogs. It is important to also treat your dog's environment, such as bedding and living areas, to prevent reinfestation. Consult with your veterinarian for further guidance and treatment options.

Yep. The air is very dry, and dogs and cats rarely have a flea problem, but they ARE there. Prairie dogs (rodents) live below ground, and DO have fleas- which carry Bubonic Plague. I was not aware of this before moving to Colorado.
Snow dogs help pull supplies and handlers in the snow.
Fleas suck the dogs blood, and causes itch. The flea is a parasite to the dog.
