If your dog (or cat) is infested with fleas, it is possible that the adult fleas will bite any human that is in the vicinity. The fleas will not "infest" or stay on the person very long, as the dog or cat is the preferred host. If a pet owner is getting lots of flea bites, it usually means the pet and the environment are heavily infested. Eradicating a flea infestation can be very challenging and frustrating, consult your veterinarian.

∙ 11y agoNo and yes. The no part is because fleas really prefer to live on furry mammals, and humans just don't have enough hair on their bodies for fleas to choose to live on humans if there is another choice. The yes part is because, when there is a significant enough flea infestation, the dog will be unable to support that many parasites and some will start to live on the people around the dog.

Can Short Haired Dogs Get Fleas?
Fleas can indeed infest short-haired dogs. Fleas can live on dogs of any hair length or hair color. They can also infest many other types of animals, including cats, ferrets, rabbits, and rodents. Fleas are external parasites that bite and feed on the blood of animals. They are also capable of biting and feeding off of the blood of people. These parasites are problematic because they can cause a variety of illnesses for both animals and people. Many animals are allergic to fleas and the resulting skin disease can be painful for them. In addition, fleas can cause localized areas of hair loss, inflammation and scabs known as "hot spots". Tapeworms can be carried by fleas and passed to animals that become infested with fleas. Fleas also play a pivotal role in the transmission of diseases such as plague and cat scratch disease.
