A dog flea is a parasitic insect that specifically infests dogs and other canines. These small, wingless fleas have laterally flattened bodies and powerful hind legs, enabling them to jump long distances and easily move through the fur of their hosts. Dog fleas feed on the blood of dogs, causing itching, irritation, and discomfort for the infested animals. They can also transmit diseases and parasites, such as tapeworms, to their hosts. Effective flea control measures, including regular grooming, use of flea control products, and environmental management, are important to prevent and treat infestations.
