Fleas. One of the most common pet problems in the UK is fleas on dogs, and you will find that anyone who owns a dog will be familiar with this problem. Dog fleas are a major nuisance as they can make your poor pooch very uncomfortable as well as spread disease. The flea life-cycle can be broken down into fourteen stages, and here we’ll be looking at each stage in turn… Fleas are a pesky little creature that tend to like to bite dogs. Other animals have fleas as well, so don’t think that you are only limited to your dog being bitten. There are several of these pests in the world, and they seem to just make life harder for those who have them. They can cause an allergic reaction that is pretty unsightly and painful. Watching one on your dog can be rather annoying too. So what should you do when they come around?

Dog fleas are a common problem for pet owners, but they can also be a problem for people with allergies. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to spot and treat dog fleas, as well as discover what you can do to keep them from coming back.
What Is A Dog Flea?
Dog fleas are small, brown insects that live on dogs and feed off of their blood. They have six legs and three pairs of eyes: one pair at the top of their head and two smaller pairs near their mouth. Dog fleas can’t fly, but they do have wings that they use to jump between hosts or to escape if threatened.
How Do Fleas Get On My Dog?
Fleas get onto your dog through contact with other animals or by coming into contact with an area where other animals have been scratching themselves (such as a park bench). They lay eggs on these surfaces and the eggs hatch when your dog (or another animal) passes by them again—this is why it’s so important not only to treat your dog but also any areas where he spends time!
Dog fleas are one of the most common pests that plague dogs, but they are also one of the easiest to treat. Fleas can cause your dog to itch, bite and scratch, leaving them with open wounds and irritated skin. They can even lead to serious infections such as anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis, which is why it’s so important to take action as soon as you notice fleas on your dog. Here are some tips for getting rid of dog fleas.
1. Bathe Your Dog
Bathing your dog with a shampoo that contains pyrethrins or permethrin will kill off any adult fleas in the fur. You’ll want to bathe your dog every two weeks for at least three months if there are many adult fleas present in order for this method to be effective.
2. Use Flea Collars
You can also use a flea collar on your dog that contains insecticides such as permethrin or fipronil in order to kill off adult fleas quickly while they’re still young enough that they can’t lay eggs yet (this means they won’t be able to reproduce again once killed off by these chemicals).
