I have just brought home a seven week old puppy from a breeder and I have found fleas on her, with her being so young how will I treat them to get rid of them:)

I have a 3 1/2 r old Pomerian, has had fleas a cou;ple of times and recently as little as a month ago, is an inside dog, only goes on walks outside on a leash. Had fleas in the house, in bedding areas, vet said use "frontline" either in a tube or in a spray bottle, fog the house per instructions on flea foggers that can be purchased at most places like Walmart, etc

You can usually use Advantage on 7 week old puppies. You can buy it from a vet.

A 7 week old likely is about due for a vet visit. The vets have the safest and most effective flea remedies. Long term, I would talk it over with your vet and go with what seems best for your particular case. I wouldn't use anything without reading the label to verify it is safe for a 7 week old.

I am not sure what would be the best to give the puppy relief until you make it to the vet the first of the week. Maybe try a flea comb plus some over the counter flea spray for any rugs and other furnishings the puppy is around.

If you check the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post251802 you will see I don't recommend bedding for puppies. I have never had problems with fleas on a new puppy, but they may be one more reason not to use bedding. Maybe not using bedding is part of the reason we don't have flea problems.
