FLEAS
Sooo...not a fun topic & thankfully not common in the Valley. But full transparency, I have had 4 dogs this Summer with fleas.
Most likely fleas make contact with dogs that travel: to the Mesa, out of town camping = higher elevation/wetter climate
Since our area doesn't experience fleas typically, knowledge of the life cycle & treatment is not common. But I grew up in the Midwest & have Veterinary training so fleas fun facts are part of my grey matter - have questions? Feel free to ask!
