Dog fleas as well as ticks are a huge
menace. There have been cases where these pests have heavily infected animals
as well as humans. Initially one does not take these little creatures very
seriously and when they attack, it is a huge problem.

infected by dog fleas as well as ticks for both human as well as animals.
Seriousness of being infected by dog
fleas and ticks
Dog fleas causes anemia
Dog fleas definitely suck up blood
from pets but in puppies and kittens, they make the pet anemic slowly. Young
pets do not have much blood and therefore they become anemic very soon. Fleas
and ticks both can suck up blood from the host’s body 15 times their own body
weight, so one can imagine how much blood they can suck.
Flea allergic dermatitis
Dog fleas can cause flea allergic
dermatitis, this result in severe skin infection, excessive itching, and
redness. The poor pet will keep on scratching its skin and develop serious
wounds. Now saliva of fleas will directly meet the blood of pets and will
further aggravate the situation. This can cause serious skin infection in pets.
Tape worm infection
Adult dog fleas are carrier of
tapeworm. These tapeworms enter the body of dogs and cats ass well to breed
further in their intestine. Tapeworm infection is very serious and these worms
feed on the food digested by the animal. This means that in spite of having
food, the animal will become weak continuously and gradually its immune system
will suffer a lot.

humans and it can cause very serious infection. The person will be heavily
infected and will suffer a lot. It has been observed that in small kids, these
