I have 4 indoor cats and want to get a dog. The cats are not on flea meds. If the dog is, can .....

Question

the cats still get fleas? I've had my cats for 7 years and want to get a dog. I don't want to put flea meds on my indoor only cats. I've never had fleas in the house. If I get the dog and put flea medicine on it.....can the dog still bring fleas in to my cats?

Answer 1

If your dog goes outside fleas can jump on him and then end up in your carpet and furniture and from there to your cats. Sorry!!

Answer 2

Yep, the dog can act as a carrier for fleas even if it has the flea meds...
