Hamsters and fleas

[Queen Of The High Teas]

No my hams don't have them, but tomorrow a customer is bringing me a dog that has had fleas. They have apparently treated the dog and simply want me to bath it to get all the gunk out. Now I normally do the dogs in the porch outside the kitchen, but this one is staying firmly in the garden, as I do not want to risk my dogs getting anything or other customer's. I have asked a vet this afternoon if hamsters can get dog fleas and they said yes, so what is the best course of action? Leave them well under lock and key in the shed? Not go near them until I've disinfected everything off? And if anyone has any tips I'd be very grateful!

Hi, just read this. Your right to be wary. I would wear one of those disposeable suits that decorators wear? Throw it away after use and also wear a shower cap! Hope it went well. x
