Fact #1. While all fleas have their preferred host, they will happily jump from one species to another. It's just as common for a canine flea to bite a human or a feline. The anatomy of the common canine flea is such that the legs are nearly as long as the body, which is relatively flat and aerodynamic. Fleas propel themselves from host to host using these long legs, constantly seeking their perfect habitat.
Fact #2. Fleas prefer temperatures of 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity levels of close to 80 percent. The perfect habitat is the warm, humid area on a dog's skin or fur. Canine fleas are more likely to congregate in the dog's armpits, under their ears, and just above their tail.
Fact #3. Infestations are not solely due to poor canine hygiene, as is commonly thought. Unless the dog is washed using only medicinal shampoos and flea-repellent conditioners, the average adult flea pays little attention to the personal hygiene of their host. They only survive by feeding on the blood of their hosts. The only consideration in their mind is where the next meal comes from.
Fact #4. Aside from simply being annoying, fleas may actually pose a threat to the well-being of the animals they bite. The bite is most commonly associated with the pruritis experienced by both humans and animals. This is severe itching of the skin disproportionate to the size of the small wound. For sensitive dogs, the experience can be quite severe.
Fact #5. The easiest way to ameliorate symptoms of a flea infestation is through the use of various dog flea treatments. Science has explored novel treatment methods and identified ways to target multiple species. These options provide safe and effective ways to reduce flea populations both on the animal and in their surrounding environment.
