I personally wouldn't shave a dog just for that reason. Shaving them won't get rid of the fleas. You'll need to get a special shampoo from your vet and wash them in that and then comb all the fleas out. You may have to repeat the process. Also, you should buy some flea spray from a Wal-Mart or some similar store to spray on the dogs bedding. :)

What do you do if your dog has dogmangeeee mange?
The mange is inherent in all dog breeds in the same way that the measles and/or mumps is inherent in all children, which is why children get inoculated against these diseases at an early age. The mange usually doesn't manifest in a dog with a healthy immune system. Common* mange is almost always brought on by stress and usually found on stray dogs that must fend for themselves and don't have regular nutritious feedings.*There is one form of mange that can be spread from dog to dog, so it's important that any sign of mange be tested by a vet to determine which type the dog carries. Although mange can be treated by a vet to rebuild a dog's immune system, if a dog is turned into the Humane Society with signs of mange, one should know that it will be destroyed.
