In our house I think through the dog these critters. Dog no flea feces or black dots. Checked with a flea comb. Dog no itch. Bugs jump and crawl. Are not very hard. About 4mm. Also in our bed but also dog blanket. What is it? Can’t find anything. Doesn’t look like fleas does it?

Answer
Dear Claudia
this is indeed not a flea. It looks more like a grasshopper or something like that to me, but the photo is not sharp enough to give a definitive answer.
Sincerely
