    Don't treat puppies for fleas until they are quite a lot older. No, pups are not born with fleas.

    Had to spread the rep Tick ut you are right.

    Puppies can't be treated with commercial treatments until they are at least 6 weeks old. They can only catch them from the mother or the environment...
