Hello,

 

Itching and scratching is one of the biggest signs that your dog may have fleas. Of course it could be a skin infection or something else, but that is the main symptom. Also red pimples or bumps are seen generally around the groin area. You may see black specks that look like dirt. You may also see small crawling bugs if you gently push or fold the hair back around the groin or tail.
