Bed bugs prefer humans to animals, and will thus mostly leave your cats and dogs alone. In the rare case your dog or cat starts showing signs of bed bug bites, it’s important to further inspect. Look for shed bed bug exoskeletons near or in their bedding. Look for live signs of bed bugs, as well, often around the seams of bedding or on tags. If you find evidence of bed bug activity near your pets’ belongings or elsewhere, contact a bed bug exterminator.
