    Call your vet for a professional recommendation.

    Just so you know, there have been other threads dedicated to the same question. You can find them here:

    The last link contains the following advice/response to a poster from Labman, the resident dog expert on this site:

    "The flea comb may be good for getting rid of the existing fleas. Washing in Dawn, although recommended by many inexperienced people, can create reactions. Your vet can likely supply safe, effective products for 3 week olds. You will need to treat your house and yard with a product that kills both fleas and their eggs, but is safe for young puppies. The mother also needs to be on an effective product save for lactating mothers..."
