Yes! Bed bugs will feed on any warm blooded animal, however their piercing mouth parts are better suited for piercing human skin. They prefer humans but if no human is readily available they will feed on your cats, dogs and even mice or rats in a home. Check your pets ears and stomach places where there is less hair as well as their favorite beds. You may find evidence of fecal matter which looks like small black dots in an area on the beds. There may also be some exoskeletons. They look like bed bugs in structure and are light brown casings which the bugs shed of their bodies which is called “molting”. Bed bug have five different nymph stages until adulthood molting their exoskeletons between each stage.
