How do you know if your dog has fleas?

Answer 1

they itch them selves really bad

Answer 2

All you can do is thoroughly look through your dogs hair. The best place to see them is on the belly where the hair is the thinnest. Also, look for flea dirt, which sort of looks like coffee grounds. If your're still unsure, take your dog to the vet.
If you find any, go to your veterinarian and purchase Frontline, or whatever flea preventative they recommend. DO NOT use something from the store, even a pet store, only use products recommended by your vet. These are much safer and work better than the stuff from the store.

Answer 3

Fleas leave behind little black specks, called flea dirt. If you run a flea comb (available at the pet store) through your dog's hair, you may pick up live ones also. Fleas need to be treated twice. The best product comes from your vet. It is a liquid applied to the skin near the top of the neck. It scatters across the surface of the dog's skin kind of like a drop of oil in water. The first application kills all live fleas but will not kill eggs. 30 days later, you need to treat again to kill anything else which hatched.
