An imaginary or stuffed dog.

A dog which is kept primarily inside, does not have contact with other animals, and is on flea preventative such as frontline or advanage (flea collars and most flea shampoos are not only ineffective in treating and preventing fleas but are also often toxic to dogs and people as well as insects). ALL breeds and mixes are equally likely to suffer from fleas if they are exposed to them. Flea infestations on short haired dogs are more likely to be noticed more quickly by the owner simply because they are easier to see, but short haired dogs are no less likely to have fleas than long haired dogs.

Depending on where you live (For instance, there are no fleas in Nevada - It's too dry and temperatures vary too much for them to complete a life cycle), ALL dogs can get fleas. Put the dog on a good preventative like Frontline or Advantix and the problem will be solved.

It's got nothing to do with the breed of dog, since fleas are bugs; it's more th environment.
I have a Rat Terrier and have had him for over 5 years. He's never, ever had a single flea on him. I do give him monthly preventative treatment - just in case though.

There is no difference between breeds. Fleas like BLOOD, they aren't interested in what type of dog or cat it belongs to or what type of fur it has.
No dog has to have fleas. If you get one, just treat it regularly with stuff from a vets, like Frontline or Revolution, and there's no need for you to ever have to see a flea.

Any dog that is treated with a monthly flea product should not get fleas. frontline plus is great. I have a long haired dog and short and they are both very clean!

Fleas don't discriminate and will infest the first dog they come in contact with. I would recommend monthly flea drops to prevent fleas from popping up.

The dog doesn't make that decision.
Environment and care are the factors that determine if a dog has fleas or not.
Where we live dogs don't have fleas regardless of breed, fleas don't live here.

Dogs that are treated with monthly flea protection generally don't get fleas. That would be the best kind.

you could bathe your dogs with the shampoo as quickly as month-to-month. yet undergo in recommendations, it relatively is greater valuable to get the little packs of flea medical care after which you basically place the liquid on the dogs, by employing the back of the dogs's neck. particularly situations the shampoo is somewhat reliable and employing on your dogs another week is definitely no longer a reliable thought. Your dogs would desire to get dermatitis, and that's so tricky to handle.
