If you work/associate with stray pets/animals at Petco or a local shelter what do I do if they have fleas? Will the fleas bite me and will the fleas go on my clothes and if it goes on my clothes will I take the fleas to my house and infect my house or cars with fleas, I also have a kitty at home.

Yes you could possibly take the fleas home. I work as a groomer at petco, and I always leave my work shoes in the car, so I dont walk on my floor with my animals that I walked around in at work incase of disease. I also always come straight home, and put my work clothes in the washer, so if there are fleas or ticks, my aniamls dont get them.
If you have fleas you need to use a flea killer – Frontline, Advantix, Advantage, Sentinel, ect – for at least three months. For best results you need to KEEP using a flea / tick product. Otherwise the fleas will develop an immunity and the product won’t work as effectively.
I don’t feel like going into the full el grande reasons and stuff.
Yes the fleas will jump on you, bite you, and hitch a ride back to your house. To get rid of the fleas on the stray animals, give them a flea dip first. Then once they are dry, apply some flea and tick drops, such as Frontline or Advantix between the shoulder blades. This should fix the problem for about a month.
first go to the superviser and alert them to the problem then they can deal with it always when you leave change your cloths as disease microorganisms can live on your ‘work’ cloths wash them asap in hot water [hotter the better]
otherwise your kitty may get sick parvo can be carried i know its happened to me in the past
