Dog with fleas

Dear colleagues,
how would you call a dog with fleas? I could �t find a nice idiomatic tern, but I am sure I have heard one before. Thanks for your help... and have a nice evening! Poohbear

A fleabag = a dog with fleas
it also means a dirty hotel
Thanks sulekra - I corrected it although I found it written both ways on the net. |

Hi Poohbear! It`s flee-infested/ flea-ridden.
Good luck! |

And: "That �s a dog with different fleas" is also an idiom.
