Many pet owners may be confused about why fleas can still be found on their pets, even if dogs or pets stay in the room all the time without ever going outside.
In fact, there are many ways your indoor pet can get fleas: untreated pet visitors, pets allowed to go outside, and pet parents themselves are three common culprits.
1. Untreated pet visitors
Even though your pet stays at home, they still have access to other animals. If the other animal carries fleas, there is a high probability that your pets will get fleas during contact with infested animals. For example, even if your dog only goes outside in your fenced-in backyard, that fence won’t keep out wildlife that can carry fleas.
2. Pets in one family that allowed to go outside
Lots of families have more than one pet. Pets have their own character, some like to go out, some like to stay home all the time. Even if the pet that likes to go outside has been treated for fleas and ticks, that doesn't mean they don't have fleas on their bodies! The vast majority of flea treatments available today only kill adult fleas. Indoor pets may become infected with fleas by coming into contact with flea eggs on pets who likes go outside.
3. Pet parents themselves.
Flea hosts are not limited to cats or dogs. When you pass through an area where fleas might live, adult fleas will jump on your clothes. Fleas attached to your clothing will drop anywhere in the home to lay eggs, gradually taking over all corners of your home. An untreated pet can become the new host for fleas if fleas are present in your home.
We recommend treating all pets in your home and the environment. To get rid of fleas on your pets and in your home, clean your home thoroughly by using bug spray, using treatments like flea drops for your pets monthly, maintain consistent flea prevention, and consult your veterinarian if needed.
