Title: Fleas on young puppies Post by: djhogdogger on August 05, 2010, 08:14:09 am One of our dogs just had puppies about 4 days ago. While she was pregnant I put advanticks on her because the ticks and fleas were so bad around here. I guess the stuff wore off by the time that she had the pups because i can see a few fleas on the puppies. Does anyone know of something safe for puppies that young that gets rid of fleas?

the type you hookup to the water hose. It will kill the fleas and the area to prevent reinfestation Title: Re: Fleas on young puppies Post by: pigstkr on August 06, 2010, 12:32:21 am i use frontline spray from the vet....spray on your hands and rub puppy down...works real well....Pigstkr
