  • Fleas feed on blood meals from cats or dogs, but undisturbed, can live more than 100 days without feeding!
  • Female fleas begin to lay eggs within 36-48 hours after their first blood meal. A female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime (which is on average 3-4 months).
  • A female flea consumes 15 times her own body weight of blood in a day!
  • Adult fleas suck blood from their animal host; however larvae live and feed on organic debris in the host animal’s environment.
  • If you see only 1 flea, there could be over 100 offspring lurking in nearby furniture, corners, cracks and carpeting…and even on your pet!
  • The species of fleas that infect both dogs and cats depend on a tropical environment for survival, but do not forget that fleas are well adapted to indoor living (your house or cottage) during the cold Canadian months.
  • There are more than 2,000 known species of fleas, however the cat flea (which also affects dogs) accounts for most fleas found in North America.
  • The largest flea recorded in North America was almost ½ inch!
  • Some pets develop a severe allergy to flea saliva which causes severe irritation and itchiness.
