Can dogs catch lice?

2 Answers

Though usually unlikely for dogs or cat to get lice it can happen. If the pet in question is in good health and a clean environment then it is unlikely to happen. Old and very young pets are more susceptible to getting lice but keep them clean and healthy is your best defense!

Yes, however, lice are species specific, which means they stick with one type of host. So human lice attack humans, dog lice target dogs, and cat lice infest cats.
