They're quite an inconvenience for humans. Horrid house guests. They can be a serious problem for dogs and cats with flea allergy dermatitis too. My cat has it and it is awful. Just a couple bites puts her in a miserable state. It made her insanely itchy to the point she clawed her skin open and could have gotten secondary infections. Her ears, eyes and nose were all runny and gunky to the point she was wheezing. She was really lethargic as well. I knew she had some fleas that I was working hard to get in check, but the other symptoms made me think something else had to be really wrong. The vet said it was a flea allergy and sure enough, once we got rid of them, all the other symptoms disappeared immediately and her skin was able to finally heal. I don't know how common the allergy is, but definitely something to be aware of.Luke Mitchell wrote:Something that I forgot to mention was how my vet said that fleas aren't really a problem for dogs - more an I convenience for their owners. Apparently puppies with fleas will often become anaemic but once they are older and stronger it usually isn't a problem. A household without cats is also much less likely to have fleas (her words!).

Garlic might be good for us, but dogs metabolize certain foods differently than we do. According to the Merck Veterinary Manual, garlic and other members of the allium family, including onions, contain thiosulfate, which is toxic to dogs but not to humans.
