EEWWW to eating fleas and poo, but still be careful to keep everything sanitary folks!

I would be very careful if you have toddlers or babies crawling or what not kn the house, because the infected pooch will sometimes get little segment things that look like grains of rice stuck to the area around there booty that could come off on carpet, floors, etc and if a toddler or baby sticks their hand into their mouth Voila tapeworm for baby...
