Flees are parasites. Parasites don't do symbiotic relationships with their hosts. You're thinking of symbiotic relationships where animals contribute to one another to help aid in survival.

Dog fleas are an extreme annoyance to pet owners looking to control fleas. If you've got a dog, chances are at some point it is going to get fleas. This is especially true of larger dogs - they often have to go outside more, and many people don't have a yard big enough to take them outside in. They'll have to go to public parks, with other dogs, who will spread dog fleas around. This page will tell you a little about dog fleas and methods of dog flea control.
How to deal with Dog Fleas
Dog fleas can be a hassle. They can also cause serious health problems for your dog, including anemia, tapeworms, and allergic dermatitis. You really need to get rid of them, even apart from the annoyance factor. You can use a number of techniques to get rid of dog fleas - first, try to get them off the dog. Flea baths, shampoos, and flea dips will accomplish this. Also rely on regular grooming - it will keep a good chunk of the dog fleas off of your animal.
You also need to treat any place where your dog is liable to go. Flea control requires that you treat your dog's bedding, the yard, and any place he or she hangs out. There are a number of products on the market, and you can read about many on this site. Two of the big ones are Frontline and Advantage, which are basically flea medicines that you apply periodically during flea season and are highly effective.
Vacuum, and vacuum regularly. You can pick up a number of fleas and flea eggs this way. But, be sure to put something in the vacuum bag to kill off the fleas, otherwise they'll just get out again. A cut-up piece of a flea collar is often useful for this. You could also try moth crystals or other things poisonous to bugs for flea control in the vacuum.

I totally agree with you. Those selfish, self centered fleas. Some body should teach them a lesson.

It's called parasitism. They feed for their own good. Kind of like survival of the fittest. Nature does all it can to survive, even if it is to feed off a dog.

Fleas only care about themselves. They are SO self-serving.

They are parasitic bloodsuckers, rather like the President-bashers on Y!A.
