Just in case you're not familiar with fleas, they are small parasites that typically jump onto dogs and cats and feed on their blood. Because they are very tiny, about 2 millimeters long, fleas can be hard to spot on pets, especially pets with dark-colored coats. Adult fleas are a reddish, brown creature with six legs and a thin flat body covered with hair. Fleas don't have wings, but they are able to jump great distances from host to host.

How to tell my pet has fleas?
When are fleas most active?
Fleas can be a threat to your pets year-round, especially in warmer climates. Fleas thrive in warm temperatures with high temperature. Late spring, summer, and early fall are considered the high season when fleas become most active. Even in the offseason, fleas may still be active and hop onto your pet. Remember, prevention is the key to keep your pet safe from fleas.
