What is safe to use to treat fleas on pups around 3 weeks old? Thanks.

We wash our Dogs & Pups in Dawn Dish Detergent (Regular) & after they are dry we use Avon's Skin-So-Soft Bath Oil (Original Scent). I have put it one the Pups & Dogs with my hand and Just wipe small amounts on the Pup/Dog and around face. Or Mix @ 2 or 3 Tablespoons in Quart Spray Bottle with Water.This will help Keep Fleas & Knats off of pups. Wash Mom also. I'm sure you could spray them with Adams Spray & wash with Adams Flea Shampoo also.

I have been treating my pups from 3 wks old and under with permetherin 10% just mix according to the label for dog dip and soak a rag , ring it out and wipe the pups down . them spray down or dip the gyp and let her dry . spray the whelping box and surrounding areas . after the gyp and box is dry put them back in . never had a problem with sick pups . this is after MANY litters . and then get your world in order and keep at the spraying of the surrounding area to keep the fleas out . I also use a product called MARTIN'S I.G. REGULATOR as a spray around the perimeter of the kennels to break the flea's hatching cycle , I don't usually have any fleas on my pups since starting this regiment unless I get behind on the maintenance . good luck and I might add permetherin 10% is THE SAFEST PRODUCT OUT THERE .

Had a flea on pup problem a few years ago Vet told me to wash em in dawn dish washing liquid and I got a pill from him to give to the mother that would kill all the fleas that would bite her and as the pups nursed they got a little of the medicine in them from the mom. worked gr8! Cant remember the name of the pill though.
