Dogs are not the only animal to get fleas. Any animal, including humans, can and will get them. Fleas survive on blood from a host animal. Fleas will hop on any animal, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, etc. Dogs may be a bit more prone as they love to nuzzle around bushes and shrubs and often spend more time outside.
However, keeping your dog inside more, using anti-flea shampoo and getting good Flea and Tick medicines will keep the flease at bay.
