A dog bitten by fleas itches badly; wash the wound with soapy water or disinfect with iodine to relieve itching, and the symptom eases quickly. But the key is removing the fleas with dog-specific external medication and disinfecting its environment and bed. Fleas breed heavily in hot, humid conditions, so avoid parasite-rich places and deworm regularly to prevent infection.
