Hi, I have a total of 8 dogs at the moment. They are all full blooded min pins. 5 of them are 5weeks and 5days old today. They are the ones I am inquiring about. The poor babies have fleas. Is it safe to put skin so soft on puppies this young? Is there anything that I can do to help these little guys. Please someone help me.

My cousin had the same problem except for with her kittens. They were full of fleas but she was afraid to treat them because of their young age. And I posted a question in the cats section and got a wonderful answer that I hope will help you. See as most flea treatments protect animals from fleas for about 30 days after put on(administered) by killing the fleas as soon as they make contact with the animals that were treated. So someone advised me to treat the mother, therefore when the fleas jump off the babies and onto the mother they will die.

You have to treat the puppies, the mother and your house. Here is a link to a good article on the subject.
