(Source: AKC) So what do flea bites look like? Fleas leave tiny, red, raised dots on your dogs skin. They are typically smaller than other insect bites, although they can become inflamed after a dog scratches. Some dogs have a stronger reaction to flea bites than others, which creates a much larger red area.
Flea bites are much more obvious on humans, since we dont have dense layers of fur. On humans, flea bites look like tiny red dots. If you have a flea bite, however, you probably wont be worrying too much about what it looks likeyoull be more concerned by how much it itches.
Here are some symptoms of flea bites on dogs to look for:
1) Severe scratching and itching
2) Biting and chewing at skin
3) Hair loss
4) Scabs
5) Red, irritated skin
