Yes, that was exactly what I was thinking while reading your post. Years ago when my daughters were young we had a friendly stray cat hanging around our neighborhood. My daughters felt sorry for it and brought it into the house on occasion to feed and pet it. About a week later our dog started to incessantly scratch, and when we took him to the vet for a suspected skin issue we found out he had fleas.
If you've never had to eradicate a flea infestation in your house, I can tell you it isn't easy nor pleasant.
