    If the dog has fleas then letting him sleep with you is not a good idea. But, if you have a healthy dog, vet checked, nothing wrong, then you should be fine.

    I'd love to tell you that dogs shouldn't be sleeping with you. Not for health reasons, but because it's a bad habit.

    Sadly I can't, two of my three dogs sleep on the bed with us, the third doesn't only because he's too old to get up on the bed.

    Truth told, there are bugs on your bed at all times, no matter how much you wash it or vacuum it. Even if you don't have pets, there are bugs. We can't see them and most times we don't notice them.

    So enjoy your dog and don't tell anyone I said it was okay for him/her to sleep on your bed. ;)
