I have a dog. She's been regularly wormed and flea treated, despite this I've never actually seen a flea on her! We've been quite lucky she's never had them.
recently visited a relatives who has cats - indoor cats but have still managed to get fleas. I thought I had a flea on me but wasn't sure. Wasn't sure at the time and didn't think much of it.
Since the visit relative then said said cats were found to be riddled in fleas (despite being indoor cats). Cats had been treated but nothing done around the house like feel vacuuming or whatever. I've since noticed bites on Dd who was sat on the carpet.
do they transport from human clothing to dogs say if we had them on us and came home? Our clothes are regularly changed and cleaned etc but it wouldn't have been straight away that day.
I have ordered some flea treatment for our dog, she's due to be done soon anyway. Will also give her a quick bath, not even sure if that helps if she has a new infestation?
but it makes me super paranoid. It brings back memories of my childhood. My mother had 8 cats, although she flea treated them she never cleaned much and it was just a continuous circle!! I was always covered in bloody bites. I've found that one dog is manageable!
