What are the differences between fleas and ticks and how do they affect my dog? - Advanced Animal Care
The big difference between them is their physical appearance. And the other big difference is going to be the diseases that fleas and ticks carry. And so they affect your pet in the sense that ticks can transmit tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease, or fleas can commonly cause secondary skin infections or things like that.
