Fleas are very hardy pests that are quite capable of hitching rides on a variety of mammals. Wild animals or feral pets traveling through the environment may be a source for a pet’s exposure.

Fleas may be brought to the house by:

• You – attached to clothing, luggage, dog blankets, etc.
• Your pet – any time your pet steps outside your house, they are potentially exposed to fleas, especially in areas where there are other animals.
• Stray or homeless cats and dogs – since these animals are not being cared for, they are easy targets for fleas. A single feral cat walking through your back yard even just one time may drop many flea eggs into the grass or under shrubs.
• Wildlife – particularly raccoons and opossums. These animals typically aren’t seen very often, because they are active at night. A single opossum can carry as many as 1,000 adult fleas! An opossum walking through your back yard even just one time can drop many flea eggs into the grass or under shrubs as they pass through.
• Non-treated pets in the household – most dogs are treated for fleas and ticks. Often, the cats in the household are not, especially if they are indoor only cats.  
• Non-treated pets in the neighborhood – you may be vigilant about treating your pets for fleas, but your neighbor(s) may not.

Yes. Even dogs that spend the majority of their time indoors should be treated with K9 Advantix^® II because fleas and ticks can be brought into the home by people or other pets without pet owners even realizing it. In fact, the saliva of most ticks has substances that can prevent their hosts from recognizing they have attached.¹
