Fleas are a major annoyance for both pets and humans. While they are known for infesting dogs, pet owners do not always know how to identify fleas on their pets.
No one wants pests in their home. However, if you have pets, especially cats, it is always possible that they will pick up fleas that can quickly spread throughout your space.
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects, about the size and color of a speck of black pepper, that are visible to the naked eye. But, what about fleas in other life stages—can you see flea eggs? This is a common question from people who are dealing with a flea infestation in their homes, or from anyone who is worried they might have a flea problem.
It started with a scratch. At first, you didn’t think much of it, but your dog had been itching nonstop for a few weeks now. When you took a closer look at your pet's fur, you noticed a small creature hop out of sight which seemed to confirm what you might have already suspected: a flea has been tormenting your beloved furry family member.
You like to be active, and so does your dog. Long walks around the neighborhood. Trips to the dog park. Hiking at the Barton Creek Greenbelt. You never realized you'd be texting your friends, begging for advice. "Give me all your ideas for how to stop fleas from biting me and my dog!" you furiously type into your messaging app.
