I read they can't but (parasites are my serious phobia!) so ye I'd treat anyways...why can't one jump or crawl onto the dog and then back off? Just be sure to use a safe for dogs nontoxic product.
We had an incident with the neighbor kids here, they kept using the shampoos and RX from Dr. and kept getting them back from either re-infestation or they just didn't l with it and they we laying eggs and hatching again. Sent them the bottle of what we got and they didn't get it back again.
Ugh I'm all itchy now!
We saw one large bug after school went immediately (per teacher's advice she's been aware of these things for 20+ years) to the hippy herbal store and got something called "essential oils" and that was that, of course I also made the kids wear it to school for two weeks after because it also repells them also-apparently it's nontoxic and kills them in all stages by attacking their organs, dissolves eggs, and is safe for pets.
Disgusting how some people do half*** jobs and send their kids back to school, or don't have their house cleaned thoroughly, the first time. So after there's an outbreak, be on the alert for a bit afterward.
