Fleas are wingless insects with mouth parts
adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood. Equipped with spiny hairs to
anchor in a dog's coat, they are armored and resistant to crushing or
scratching. They serve no purpose in the great chain of being, except to cause
discomfort and spread disease.
One safe way to remove a sudden infestation is to shampoo your dog well with Lemon Joy or Dawn dish soap. These grease-cutting shampoos will kill existing fleas by swiftly destroying the cuticle on their exoskeletons, but you will have to act proactively to prevent further attacks in the immediate area.
