Fleas are tiny parasites that feed on the blood of their host. They can live on any warm-blooded animal, including dogs, cats, and even humans.
Here's why it's important to remember:
* Fleas are common: Fleas are a common problem for dogs, regardless of their coat type.
* All dogs are susceptible: Whether your dog has short, long, thick, or thin hair, fleas can infest them.
* Symptoms are similar: The signs of a flea infestation are the same, regardless of coat type, including itching, scratching, and red, irritated skin.
So, even if your dog has a short coat, it's important to be vigilant about flea prevention and treatment.
