Fleas are common parasites that can affect dogs. Signs of fleas in dogs include excessive scratching, biting, or licking, especially around the tail, back, and belly. You may also notice red or irritated skin, hair loss, flea dirt (black specks that look like ground pepper) on the skin, and even visible fleas moving around on your dog's fur. In severe infestations, dogs can develop anemia due to blood loss from flea feeding. It's essential to regularly check your dog for fleas, especially during warmer months or if your dog has been in contact with other animals. Consult your veterinarian for the best flea prevention and treatment options for your dog.
