Bugs everywhere!
Recently, my little white westie has been coming back inside (after going out in her doggie door to the backyard) covered in these teeny tiny black bugs. You can hardly see their legs and they are NOT ticks! Our dog has had a problem with ticks before but these aren't ticks I can tell. I tried to do some research online and found this person is having the same problem:

The thing is, no one ever really answered their question either :/ these bugs only seem to stick onto my westie but we can't find any one our yellow lab :/ please help I don't know what the heck these things are and they're getting all over the couch and annoying the heck out of my dog! thanks!

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
You could put some of the bugs in a jar and go to your nearest university and have some an entomologist look at them. He/she will tell you exactly what you're dealing with and could probably tell you how to eradicate them.
An alternative is to call a pest control company and have them do the same, but you'll have to pay for that.
The key is to find out what they are.

Its possible it can be lice or flees. Buy your dog some flea shampoo and wash your westie really well with it. See if it clears up. If it does, then its fleas, if it doesnt, then I would contact your vet about it to try to find a solution. I believe there is a dog spray bug repelent, you can try that. Also, at home depot, there is this great bug repelent for outside that you put on your lawn, it is animal safe so I would give that a try too. Good luck!!!!
I hope your westie gets rid of these icky bugs!
