QUESTION: Hi,

ANSWER: Hi katie, Do you have cats?  Or even stray cats around the area?  They can be the carrier of the fleas.
Make sure you keep you pup on a good natural flea product:
Cedarcide ( order on-line)
or
Critter Oil ( again on-line)
Google Search on them... Both quality products for your pets and home , too.


Good Luck

Answer
Yes, you need to treat your pup and the house, too.
Call your local vet about a good product for your pup.  You can use the natural cedarcide or other such products on pup and around the house.
