There are no dog fleas. The common flea found on dogs, cats, rats, and people is known as the cat flea. Care must be taken when treating cats for them because some of the chemical preparations to treat dogs can be deadly to cats. Use something specifically formulated for your pet.

They are the same but don't use dog flea solutions on cats and the same for dogs don't use cat solutions. They get the same fleas but their skin and body chemistry is different from each other.

Dog, cat and human and house fleas are all the same kind of flea, but the treatments are necessarily different.

they are one in the same. if your dog or cat has fleas, i would recommend that you purchase a topical product from your vet made specifically for the pet. if it is a dog the topical products go by the weight of the dog. if it is a cat, it is made specifically for cats. never use a dog product on a cat

Theres several different kinds of fleas, cat, dog, hedgehog and human to name a few. They all tend to prefer the species that they are named for but will still happily hop on and bite anything else in a pinch.

No there is no difference, but you must treat the cat and the dog with separate flea eradicator,as they are made up of different stuff, and don't forget the house.
