ABOUT FLEAS
The flea is a tiny, wingless insect with a hard and laterally flat body designed to easily navigate through pet hair. The flea also has legs designed for jumping great distances and a mouth designed to suck blood. This parasite feeds upon the blood of a host, usually a mammal. There are several species of fleas, but the one that most commonly affects dogs, cats, and other house pets in North America is the cat flea, also known as Ctenocephalides-felis. While this type of flea can and will bite people, humans are not an ideal host. This flea prefers cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents and similar mammals.
​
Left untreated, fleas can multiply rapidly and make your pet seriously ill. That’s why it’s important to check your pet for fleas on a regular basis and act quickly to eliminate any outbreaks
that occur.

FLEA-BORNE DISEASES
FLEA ALLERGIC DERMATITIS
Itching from fleas is caused by a localized allergic reaction to flea saliva. Some animals are more sensitive than others, so flea bites can lead to severe itching, irritation, scratching, skin damage, and major skin infections in some pets. Other pets will not seem to react at all to the fleas because they do not have the same allergic reaction.
ANEMIA
If enough fleas infest the host, the host animal can lose enough blood to become anemic. Small puppies and weak dogs are especially at risk. If not caught soon enough, a dog can die or suffer medical complications as a result of anemia.
TAPEWORM INFECTION
(Dipylidium caninum)
This type of tapeworm can be contracted after the accidental ingestion of an infected flea (during self-grooming, for example). Flea larvae often ingest the microscopic tapeworm eggs, causing adult fleas to be carriers.
OTHER
Fleas play a role in the spread of typhus, plague, and bartonellosis.
