Fleas spend most of their time off the dog! You need to vacuum well round the edges of your rooms as that is where the flea eggs lie, I forget exactly the life of the flea but do remember that it is important to vacuum down the edge of sofas, chairs etc and you may need to get a spray from the vet that you spray these areas with.
Only the adult flea spent their time on the dog. You have to take care of the house, carpets, area around walls etc. flea eggs will pop three weeks after. So after 3 weeks after you have cleaned and spray you will have to repeat it!
