Flea allergies can cause intense itching and discomfort in pets, leading to excessive scratching or biting at the skin. This is often concentrated around the lower back, tail, and abdomen.
Chronic scratching and biting can result in fur loss, particularly in areas where the pet can reach such as the lower back, thighs, and belly.
The skin may become red and inflamed due to the continuous irritation and scratching. In severe cases, the skin may also become thickened and discolored due to prolonged inflammation.
The continuous scratching and biting can lead to skin lesions or open sores. These wounds can also get infected and may produce pus or bleed.
Dogs suffering from flea allergies can become irritable or anxious due to the constant discomfort. They may avoid being touched or petted, especially around the affected areas.
Hot spots or acute moist dermatitis are localized areas of skin inflammation and bacterial infection. They can occur when a pet constantly licks, chews, or scratches an area, causing it to become red, oozy, and painful.

Keep your pets on regular flea and tick treatments. Pets are often the carriers of fleas, so using regimen treatments on them can significantly reduce the possibility of a flea infestation in your home. There are numerous flea treatment options available over the counter or from your vet.
Maintain a clean home environment. Fleas often breed in carpets, upholstery, and pet bedding. Regular vacuuming, washing of pet bedding, and cleaning of upholstered furniture can help eliminate any residual fleas or flea eggs.
Use flea control products like sprays, flea bombs, or foggers. These products can kill fleas at every stage of their life cycle and also deter new fleas from entering the home. Always follow the instructions on the product's label for the best results.
Control fleas in your yard. Keep your grass mowed and your shrubs trimmed. Regularly raking leaves and disposing of them prevents potential hiding and breeding spots for fleas. You can also use yard sprays or hire a professional exterminator to treat your yard.
