Where Do Fleas Come From And What Kinds Of  Problems Do They Bring?

Fleas are common on small wild life such as raccoons and opossums that live near the cities. These animals walk through the neighborhoods dispensing their little pests everywhere they go. The females lay eggs basically get dropped where ever the host happens to walk by and the eggs hatch.  The lucky animal that walks by next is now the new host. 

Many times it is the stray dogs or cats that will pick up the strangers only to repeat the process until the critters end up on your pet. Fleas can cause tapeworms in dogs so it is important to keep your dog free of fleas.

Where Do Ticks Come From

These little creatures live in wooded areas and tall grasses, so for your pet to have ticks would mean that they went into this environment and the ticks waiting in line jumped on as the pet was walking by. Ticks will then transfer to a human.

Although ticks are not as common as fleas they can be more deadly even to humans. These are blood sucking insects that can cause diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease.
