    I've actually never heard of tapeworms from flea ingestion. I've only heard of getting them from other contaminated animals or meat (though I suppose a flea carring tapeworm eggs would be a contaminated animal). I guess I learn something new everyday.

    Oh that's all I've ever heard about getting tapeworms, a major way they get them, anyway. Even if your dog doesn't have fleas they can still ingest the feces and get tapeworms.
