How to Keep Fleas Out of the House & Off of Dogs

Having fleas in your house can cause problems for you and your pet, including itching. Fleas can also transmit tapeworm to your dog. Dogs get fleas from being near them, like in a yard or around other animals that have them. Fleas can be brought into your yard and home on people's clothing. All areas that a dog comes into contact with must be flea-free in order to keep fleas out of your house and off of your dog.
