Poor Baby has Fleas

How can a puppy get fleas without ever being around other dogs or going outside??

Your dog never goes outside?

Where did the dog come from?

What do you mean where did she come from? And no she doesn't go outside unless she is being carried. It's too cold outside for her to go on walks.

I mean where did you get her from?

Is she a new puppy, 'cause she may have gotten fleas from wherever she came from.

She has to be on the ground when she goes to do her business, that's probably where she got the fleas. She also could have gotten them from any other place you take her, other dogs, exploring in unknown places, a multitude of things. You'll have to probably deflea your entire home anyways if she has them now, so it's hard to determine where exactly she got the,

I got her from a breeder. She didn't have fleas when I got her. I got her about 5 months ago. She's nearly eight months old now.

She is not on the ground when she does her business, she is on the floor. She has a pee pad in the corner of the spare bedroom.

Hm, that's really strange. Do you take her anywhere where there are other dogs?

It's strange that she got fleas and doesn't go outdoors, that's usually where dogs pick up fleas..

I really have no idea past those things where she got them, that's very weird!

Well maybe she went on an adventure when you weren't looking hahaha.

Either way, poor pup, hope her flea problem gets cleared up soon!
