Does Your Siberian Husky Have Fleas?

My Siberian Husky was seemingly scratching at his ears and neck more often, so I took a finetoothed comb out to help me assess if I had a flea problem on my hands.
After dragging it through his fur, I shook the small amount of debris onto a piece of white tissue paper. Small red flakes were present and indicated the presence of fleas living on my Siberian Husky. I had to cure this problem fast as fleas can multiply rapidly and spread to the entire household, making them harder to exterminate.
I easily found a whole section of flea treatments at the local supermarket that ranged from powders and collars, to sprays and shampoos.
After shampooing my Siberian Husky and then spraying down the areas if the home he frequented most, I took him to the vet and he got a medicinal flea preventative.
