Causes of fleas on dogs:
1. Failure to deworm regularly. Dogs need to be dewormed regularly for their health. Puppies need to be dewormed for the first time when they are about 25-30 days old, and then once a month until they are half a year old. Starting from when the dog is six months old, deworming should be done every three months. Dogs are very susceptible to fleas if they are not dewormed regularly.
2. Drill through grass and mud. Dogs may be infected with fleas when they play on grass, mud, or come into contact with other small animals. In summer, parasites in grass and mud also become more active, and dogs are very susceptible to infection when they walk through the grass. Dogs may be infected with parasites even if they stay at home. People can also act as carriers and bring parasites and their eggs home through their clothes and shoes, indirectly infecting dogs.
3. Not bathing regularly. Dogs also need to be bathed regularly in order to keep their bodies clean. If the dog has not been bathed for a long time, it is very easy to harbor parasites. It is best for dogs to take a bath once every one to two weeks, and use dog-specific bath shampoo to help keep their skin healthy.
