Fleas are an external parasite that affect many different types of animals. Some common parasites that live on both dogs and cats are ticks, lice, and fleas. Since these parasites can affect these mammals in a very similar way, let’s take a look at how fleas on cats and dogs are alike. After the final blood meal, the female flea lays eggs. Her eggs are either deposited on a suitable surface or are picked up and carried to a host by the jumping adult fleas. Some eggs fall off of the host onto surfaces such as carpeting and bedding where they can remain viable for many months within the environment. Puppies and kittens are adorable, but baby fleas? Now that’s gross. They don’t look like the kind of creature you’d want to pick up and cuddle with, and that’s because they’re just not cute. That said, there is no denying their appeal. I mean, who doesn’t find a bloodsucking parasite fascinating? They don’t belong on your pet, though.

Baby fleas are small, immature fleas that have recently hatched from their eggs. They feed on the blood of humans and animals, and can cause extreme discomfort for their hosts.
Baby fleas are very similar in appearance to adult fleas. They are only about 1/8 inch long and have no wings. Their bodies are covered with fine hairs, which allow them to move around rapidly and leap great distances. Their bodies are also covered with a waxy coating that helps protect them from water loss.
Baby fleas can be found wherever their adult counterparts live. They live on the same host animals as adults do, but they prefer to hide in cracks and crevices or under furniture rather than on top of it like adult fleas do because they’re easier targets for predators like birds or cats if they’re out in the open too often.
Fleas are a nuisance for any pet, but they’re especially dangerous for newborns. As babies grow up, they learn to play with and interact with the world around them, but fleas can make it hard for them to do that. They can cause itching and scratching that makes it hard for your baby to play or sleep, which can be dangerous for their development.
There are some things you can do to protect your baby from fleas:
1. Make sure all pets in your home have been treated with flea medication
2. Keep your house clean so that there are fewer places for fleas to hide out
3. Keep your yard clean so there aren’t any places where fleas might lay eggs
