Can my cats get fleas from visitors' clothes if their dog has fleas?

Question

Hello! I have guests coming to stay with us soon who have a dog that has had fleas in the past and may still. They will be flying here and won’t be staying with us, however I’m concerned that our two cats may get fleas from them. Is that possible? They won’t be bringing their dog, but I wasn’t sure if they could travel on them/their clothing? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

If the dog is not coming to your house and they are traveling without the dog and not staying with you, then out would be unlikely they would bring fleas to you. But, not impossible. Fleas could be in their luggage or clothes,, just not likely. You could always put a dose of Advantage or Frontline onto your cats to be safe.
