This could include keeping a dog with a minor infestation in a room with a closed door to make sure no other pets can enter. If you have a more significant infestation around your house, you may want to take non-impacted pets to a stay with a friend or at a boarding facility until the fleas clear up. Isolation should not seem like a punishment. Make sure your dog has access to plenty of food and fresh water, as well as comfort items like blankets, beds, and toys. Spend ample time with them every day. The point is to keep the fleas from spreading, not to ignore them or make them feel bad. Always wash your hands and change your clothes after you have interacted with a flea infested pet before you allow any other animals to come in contact with you.

For example, pick a dark velvet fabric for an evening dress or use a denim skirt for a simple daytime look.
