From skin irritation and reactions of the allergic variety to anemia and in some instances, even death, when it comes to protecting your dog from fleas you can never be too cautious. Something that many pet owners do not know about fleas is that they can even carry tapeworms. (Note: If you suspect your dog has contracted tapeworms be sure to keep a keen out for these. You can do so by checking the dog’s tail area for rice-sized particles in the anal area and in their feces. It’s best to treat them as quickly as possible.)
