They’re so cute, cuddly and fluffy. Just kidding, fleas are terrible AND extremely painful. But now that we’ve cleared the air about how I feel about the clover-loving insect, I want to talk to you about how I find fleas on my cat.

Fleas are a problem for pet owners. Even if you have just one pet, you are still at risk. Honestly, I should know better than to ever let my pomeranian Mango outside. He is so full of energy and always running around the house that it is inevitable for him to get into shenanigans. Yet, I can’t resist when he looks at me with those big eyes saying: “I promise I will not go outside!” A few months ago, we were enjoying our Saturday mornings sitting on the couch while eating breakfast while relaxing and watching tv. We could hear Mango scratching behind the couch and we just thought that he’s playing hide and seek because we couldn’t see him. Yet, after a few seconds, he ran out and jumped in front of us…covered in white spots! OMG! We were shocked to see little white grains running across our floor after chasing him around the house.

How to find fleas

Fleas are the bane of most people’s existence. They’re the reason your dog scratches its back raw, why you have to clean up hairballs around the house, and why your cat is always trying to sleep in your bed. The worst part is that they’re so small it’s hard to see them—but not impossible! Here’s how you can spot them in your home:

If you see little black dots on your dog or cat’s skin, those are fleas. You might also see tiny black dots on your furniture or carpeting if there are fleas in your home. Flea eggs look like tiny rice grains and are often found in the same areas as adult fleas—on your pet’s fur or in carpets and furniture.

If you’re having trouble spotting fleas, try using a magnifying glass or microscope. You can also take a photo of any suspected fleas with your phone and zoom in on them later, which might help make them easier to identify!

Finding fleas on your dog can be a tricky business, but it’s not impossible. Here are some ways to find out if your dog has fleas:

1. Look for flea eggs and larvae in your dog’s coat. These will be easiest to spot if you’re looking for them after your pet has been outside, especially in grassy or wooded areas where fleas are usually found.

2. Check the dog’s ears and eyes for bumps and dark spots, which are signs of fleas. Bumps like this can also be caused by yeast infections, so if you notice them make sure to take your dog to the vet!3. Feel around your dog’s belly, paws, chest, neck, groin area (for male dogs) and back (for female dogs) for bumps or lumps that could indicate an infestation with fleas. Fleas are most likely to attach themselves here.
