Fleas are the most common external parasite on our dogs and cats. In Texas, fleas can be a problem year round – at Pearland Animal Hospital, we have seen dogs and cats covered in fleas in January. Our temperate climate and the fact that there is a lot of wildlife and increasing numbers of feral cats in our neighborhoods make fleas very common. Adult fleas make up only about 5% of the flea population; the remaining 95% is in the animal’s environment (your house and yard). A female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, and up to 2000 in a lifetime! View more about this blog ยป
