my two week old puppies have fleas what can I safely do to treat them?

Answer 1

Check out the site I linked to below, we're currently dealing with a small flea infestation in my house as well & its been really helpful.

Consult your vet for an appropriate flea preventive that you can use on such young puppies.

If you think that there is an infestation, find a place for you & your dogs to go for a few hours & set off a flea bomb. THEN vaccuum EVERYTHING: Carpets, upholstery, curtains, bedding, etc. Wash your bedding & clothes, & keep up on the preventive (I'm finding advantage helps with getting rid of flea infestations better than frontline because it also kills the eggs & not just fleas.)

Don't forget to consider the outside conditions as to which your pups may be bringing in more fleas. Walking them in fields, or taking them to the dog park is a guarantee to pick up more fleas.)

Answer 2

Frontline spray. It can be used on puppies and kittens from 2 days of age, and is the only thing that's safe for use on animals under 8 weeks of age. Go to your vet to get some.

Don't start bathing in Dawn dish soap or anything else people on here might suggest! Just go to a vets.

Does Mom have on Frontline? That prevents the whole litter from getting fleas. Call your vet and see if he feels it's ok to use now. I know mine says it's ok to use it all through the pregnancy and lactation.

Answer 4

i don't think you can treat them, my 6 week old pup had them and i had to see the vet and get some special stuff, you would be best to just ring the vet , they can advise you to buy something, you should get a free puppy check and that should include prescription, well my vet dose ... good luck with the pups....
