my dad said to use tea tree oil because he is young we can't use any store bought stuff. But the flees are so bad that he whines while he scratches

How old is your puppy? Do not waste your money on grocery store flea meds, GO TO YOUR VET! I used to be a groomer, and if your pup is infested with fleas, it needs to see a vet and get treated. Fleas can carry tapeworm eggs. If your pet eats a flea that is carrying tapeworm eggs, your pet can get tapeworms. If your pet has tapeworms, you will notice small, hard, seed-like particles where your pet sleeps. Your vet will be able to tell you if your pup is old enough to be dosed with either Advantage, Frontline, Frontline Top Spot, or Revolution, and the appropriate sized dosage to give.
DO NOT USE TEA TREE OIL! It is toxic. Melaleuca oil is highly lipophilic and can be absorbed through intact skin to cause systemic toxicity. Pets grooming themselves may also ingest some topically applied oil.

How old is he? If he is 8 weeks or over, you can put Revolution on him. You get this at your vets. It is a small tube of liquid that you squeeze right between the shoulders. It also lasts a whole month. When he gets a litlle older, you can switch to Frontline, as this will control the fleas as well as ticks. Check with your vet for more details.

Puppies can start using Frontline or Advantix when they are 8 weeks old. If the puppy is younger than this, take him to your vet.
They may be able to suggest a shampoo you can use to clean the fleas off.

Your best bet is just to call to the vet. They will be able to give you an answer tell them that you cant afford it and you just need to know what to do. If they wont tell you call the humane society and they will. Besides just treating the pup you will have to treat everything that he ahs come into contact with or he will just get them again. Good Luck.

in basic terms by using fact the nostril isn't blue would not recommend it somewhat isn't any longer a blue nostril pitbull. The blue refers back to the coat which may be a gloomy blue to a charcoal colour. i'm surely staring at a blue nostril pit appropriate now and that's black and white for the main section. the subject I even have is i could in no way pay any further than 200 for a domestic dog that has no papers, or something. something larger than that i could desire to have papers, vet papers, shot papers etc...

You didn't mention how old the puppy is. Ask your Vet what to use for your puppy because fleas need to be eliminated. They can cause the pup to become anemic.
Also, your pup will likely need to be treated for tape worms when he is old enough to get worming treatment.
