2. Scratching and skin irritation is another sign of flea infestation. Fleas can cause dermatitis, so if your pet’s skin seems red and irritated, they may have fleas. Pets have been also known to bite at their skin when irritated.

3. Keep bedding and areas that your pet stays in clean. Check these areas often for signs of fleas. You may see some hopping around! You may also see flea dropping in the bedding, too.

4. Limit time spent outdoors, especially in warmer months where flea and ticks may be heavily present. If your pet likes to spend a lot of times outdoors or you live in a wooded area, you may expect that your pet will acquire some “little visitors”.

5. Use flea and tick protection on your pet, especially when they enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors. There are various types of flea and tick treatments to use on your pet.
