 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?

Just lightly dust them with it and be sure it's the Sevin 5... do not use the Sevin 10.

My wife uses Ovitral (spelling not sure).  It comes in a spray from the vet.  About $20.  She sprays it on a sock and rubs it on them as needed on their whole body, just keep it away from nose and mouth.

I would spray the yard or surrounding area with the spectracide flea killer.
the type you hookup to the water hose.
It will kill the fleas and the area to prevent reinfestation

The blue dawn dishsoap or the green palmolive is about the safest way I know to kill them on the pup...
