Fleas are one of your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies greatest enemies. These tiny, wingless insects jump onto cats, dogs, and people and ingest their blood.

What are the Dangers to My Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) from Fleas?

Fleas aren't just a nuisance for you and your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies); these pests can cause the following medical problems:

Fleas and Tapeworms

If your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) eats a flea, which is likely during self-grooming, he could become infected with the immature tapeworms fleas can carry. These long, flat parasites can cause weight loss and diarrhea, and can be contagious to you and your family. One sure sign of tapeworms is the "white rice" you may find on your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies coat underneath the tail. These are tapeworm segments, and they also can be found on your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies bedding. If you see them, take your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) to your veterinarian right away to get rid of these pests.


Fleas often bite humans when other food sources aren't available, but they do not thrive on human blood. Their bite leaves a red, itchy spot on the skin.

What are the signs that a Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) has fleas?

The obvious sign is seeing adult fleas on the body. A flea-bitten Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) will scratch a lot because fleas bite the Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) leaving behind saliva that is an irritant to many Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies. A Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) that is infested with fleas will scratch persistently, which could result in a case of dermatitis.

How can I find out if my Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) has fleas?

Place your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) on a white sheet and comb the coat with a flea comb. Now look at the sheet. If you see small black specks, it could be flea dirt. Flea dirt is actually flea feces, made up mostly of blood sucked from the Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) that is eliminated through the flea's digestive system as dried blood. Flea dirt turns bloody when water is applied. So if you want to make sure, add a drop of water to the specks and see if it turns a reddish color. If it doesn't, odds are that your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies) just needs a good bath.

When can Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies become infested with fleas?

Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies can become infested with parasites at any time of the year. However, flea infestation is more prevalent in the spring when cold temperatures turn warmer, making it a more hospitable climate for parasites. You are more apt to encounter fleas in warm, humid areas. Flea populations generally don't develop in dry climates.

I've been using insecticides, but I'm still seeing fleas. What am I doing wrong?

You may see some fleas for 10 days to several weeks following treatment. These are newly hatched fleas which were unaffected by your earlier treatments because of their chemically resistant cocoons. You'll need to re-treat the home and yard 7 to 10 days after the initial treatment to kill the next wave of fleas, and continue your treatments until all existing fleas have completed their life cycle.

Are flea control products safe?

Flea control products can be dangerous if not used properly. Always read the label and instructions carefully. And make sure you use the product only for the prescribed Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies. Some products are not appropriate for use with cats.

• Take back your home. You can't conquer a flea problem by treating only your Maltese Puppy  (Maltese Puppies; you also must treat your house.

• Re-conquer your yard. Use professional, concentrated yard sprays, many of which attach easily to the end of a garden hose for application.
