Abstract

Fleas are a source of repulsion, distress and irritation for pet owners worldwide. Fleas additionally can cause flea allergic dermatitis (FAD) in susceptible pets, as well as having the potential to transmit vector-borne diseases. Control of household flea infestations is therefore vital but can be challenging, with a number of factors possibly leading to failure of flea control. This case demonstrates the need for accurate history taking, flea genus/species identification, and implementation of an effective flea control strategy to eliminate an existing infestation in an owner's home.
