Answer
Hello Maria Ramona!
I would recommend taking your dog to the vet to get it properly diagnosed if it is fleas or lice, will determine the proper treatment. The vet will give you the proper medication for your dogs to eliminate them, but then you will have to get rid of them from your entire house. Buy a flea spray and spray everything down in the house/vehicles and on all the surfaces the dogs could have been on. Wash all bedding in hot water. To prevent it from happening again, take your dogs to the vet every month that is peak season for fleas and get a monthly prevention treatment! Good Luck!
