How to Kill Fleas on Your Puppy

How to Kill Fleas on Your Puppy

For puppies under 4 weeks old

 
  • Do not use flea preventatives
  • Bathe your puppy in warm water
  • Manually remove fleas with tweezers or a flea comb

 

For puppies over 4 weeks old
Use a shampoo, dip, or spray to immediately kill fleas.

 

After bathing your puppy, you should wait at least 24 hours before applying a topical flea preventative.

 

 

 

Give flea prevention to all pets in the household. Otherwise, one pet will give fleas to the other. Treat your home and yard for complete flea elimination.
