Fleas are hard to find, but if your dog has fleas, you may notice that they are itchy and more restless than usual, and are licking, scratching or chewing (like they’re eating a corn cob) in specific areas. Other symptoms include hair loss or bald spots due to the excessive licking and chewing, and your dog’s skin may be bumpy from all of the scratching.
Can You See Fleas on Dogs?
When you look for fleas on your dog, you need to be quick since fleas move fast and can be hard to spot. These tiny parasites are only 1/16 to 1/8 inch tall and are dark brown, although they become lighter in color as they start to ingest blood. Typically, you can only spot fleas easily if a dog has a severe flea infestation.
