Question

i just got the puppy she is 9weeks.having a hard time teaching her.i need to something fore fleaes.but wont hurt my 10month old son

Answer 1

FONTLINE PLUS for fleas ( by the way,, a 9 week old pup from a reputable breeder should not have fleas.

do you want your pup to pee INSIDE for it's whole life? if not,, crate train /housebreak your dogs and save the newspapers for reading

if your pup , at 9 weeks, is loaded with fleas, chances are it has worms and has not been innoculated yet..... get to the vet for shots, flea prevention, and worming.

Answer 2

Can't help with the training, but I can with the fleas.

Go to the vet - you will get a treatment that is both effective and safe. Frontline spray is quite safe for young dogs, from 2 days of age. As long as your son doesn't lick the dog or stroke the dog when treated and then suck his hands he'll be fine - even if he did ingest some, Frontline is pretty harmless.

Please don't start bathing your pup in dish soap or any of the other silly remedies people always suggest on here, just go to your vet. You don't have to take the dog, just pop in.
