I have a puppy under six weeks old. What can I do to rid him of fleas?

Question

This is a revised question for you guys out there that are to nosy. I just ask about one pup trying to reduce the typing. I have four of them at 2 weeks...and YES THEY ARE STILL WITH THEIR MOTHER AND LITTERMATES!

Answer 1

get him a flea collor. and wash him w/ soap. and maybe you shoud talk to a vet.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

You need to bathe everyone in joy (or dawn) detergent and water.  You *can* safely apply Frontline to MOM.  The furkids are still 2 weeks shy of being ready for Frontline themselves.  

Answer 3

Try gently washing them all with a GENTLE Tea Tree Pet Shampoo

Tea tree is a natural antibacterial / antifungal and great for getting rid of fleas

You sound like a caring, responsible pet owner

All The Best

:-)

Answer 4

clean soap

Answer 5

I use frontline and Adams flea and tick spray and it works good  

Answer 6

I know where you r comming from... Have you tried traeting everything around them? (thier bedding, yard, home, etc.?) Thats about the only thing i can think of w/ them still so young and then  when they r old enough, you can treat them w/ some sort of product like revolution or frontline....

Answer 7

Pups that young cant use over the counter meds. Go to your vet. I got some spray that you spray on and wrap them in a towel. Of course you have to treat the area, mum and everyone else too.

Answer 8

best solution...give bath in flea soap ( can't remember name but it's green and not expensive) and buy flea drops. They come inside of little tubes and you put it on the dog from the head to the tail...empasize on the tail and the next because they love living there...and the dog should be good for 3 to 5 weeks....apply the flea drops every month

Answer 9

look for a spray for their fur that is age appropriate and maybe a flea collar

Answer 10

Call your vet and ask him.

Answer 11

bath the pups with dawn dish detergent

bath the mom

clean all bedding

If possible have someone watch them for 1 day and bomb your house the general rule is for every flea on a dog there is 100 in the house.

You can use seven dust on them.

Answer 12

Buy the de-fleaing drops at a pet shop.

Answer 13

Bye flea stuff from tescos. Make sure its for a dog, not a cat.

You can also get a shampoo called Micro-tek from your vet it is a mild shampoo that works for fleas on pups. Use only as directed by your Vet.

Please consult your Vet regarding any flea treatment since the pups are very young.

Answer 15

too young , don;t use fleas shampoo , the mother will eventully l**k on the pups to get them clean and at the same time consuming the chemical on it.

Just use the baby or normal human shampoo at this moment.

maybe after 2~3 mths old after the pup opens thier eyes , then olny u can use the flea shampoo on both the mother and all her pups.

Answer 16

get flea shampoo and i think there could be shots
