The problem with fleas
Fleas can be irritating and painful for your pet and your family, but they can also cause more serious problems:
- Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) – a skin condition caused by an allergy to flea saliva or faeces that needs to be diagnosed by a vet
- Transmission of tapeworm
- Blood loss and anaemia in puppies and kittens
- Transmission of other blood-borne diseases – some of which can rarely affect humans.
