Can I sleep with dog with fleas?
Unfortunately, if your dog has fleas and sleeps in your bed, your bed will likely end up with fleas. Fleas can lay eggs in your pet’s fur, and those eggs can fall off onto your bedding and other areas where your dog sits or sleeps.
When can my dog sleep in my bed again?
After treatment, give it some time to make sure all the fleas are gone before letting your dog sleep in your bed again. Once you’re sure the fleas are gone and your house is clean, your dog can enjoy snuggling up in your bed once again!
We recommend waiting for at least a week after treatment to make sure all the fleas are gone.

Flea and tick control is especially important if you let your pet sleep in your bed.

But while dogs can be snuggly companions, they can also bring fleas and ticks into bed with them.
