They're not fleas - what are they?
We have noticed tiny black 'dots' on our white poodle. Then we saw some crawling things, they definitely aren't fleas because they don't jump, just crawl away into the fur. They are longish and brown, about 3mm long. We are going to see the vet tomorrow but what can they be? Anyone any ideas please? Thanks.

They [I have 2 poodles] have been given the first treatment with Frontline, and I have 2 further months supply from the vets. Also have spray. Have been hoovering 'til I'm blue in the face, spraying etc. Have only managed 2 bedrooms and the hall. Will be doing the lounge tomorrow. Am buying a flea comb on Ebay [vets didn't have 1]. Vet's bill was £62.19, but worth every penny if they go! Thanks for your help and interest. I really appreciate it.
