What Do Flea Eggs Look Like on a Dog?
Flea eggs are even harder to spot than adult fleas on dogs, especially if your dog has light-colored fur. They are tiny, whitish, oval-shaped specks that resemble a grain of salt. If you do see some, you might think flea eggs are just dried skin flakes.
Dog Flea Bites Can Cause Allergies
Fleas are one of the most common causes of allergies in dogs, and the trouble can start from just one flea bite. Some dogs are allergic to flea saliva and can develop flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) from flea bites. For dogs with FAD, skin reactions are often seen along their lower back, thighs, lower abdomen and forelegs. All of the licking and scratching can irritate the dog’s skin and create openings where bacteria and yeast can enter, leading to secondary infections.
