The only thing that you can do is to give your puppy a bath in dishsoap. It is safe and kills fleas. Once you bath her you will have to pick the fleas off. Some of the fleas do wake up as the soap only stuns them. Do this until all the fleas are gone. Before you wash her put some eye ointment or mineral oil /around her eyes to protect them from the soap. There are no flea products that are safe to use on a puppy that young. Good luck and happy flea hunting.

if you can get a nice pair of tweezers and sit in the bath with the pup, while you wash her, and they all move to her head, use the tweezers to pick them off, squeeze them, and send them down the drain. i know it sounds tedious, but you love the pup, so you must help her. how did she get the fleas anyway? if theyre in your house, you need to deflea the carpet and upholstery. they have stuff for that in pet stores. good luck!

Dawn dish soap. This was recommended earlier by a vet tech and was reccomended by my vet. It kills the live fleas. As to whether you can bathe a puppy that young I do not know and would call the vet and check first.

Why on earth do you have a 1 1/2 week old puppy when you clearly know nothing about puppies or dogs? You cannot give a 1 1/2 week puppy a bath! You are well on your way to killing your puppy or making it dangerously ill.

I wouldn’t use any puppy products on such a young puppy I think you’re supposed to use very mild maybe shampoo and a flea comb

DO NOT!!!!! USE FLEA SHAMPOOS ON PUPPIES THAT YOUNG! DO NOT BATH A PUP THAT YOUNG! YOU CAN MAKE IT SICK AND KILL IT !!! You have to pick the fleas off by hand at this age. Read you Flea products carefully, they are an insecticide! Most flea products can’t even be used at six weeks old. WHEN your pup is old enough for a flea bath, you start at the head and work your way back so the fleas do not move toward the head.

Try brushing the dog with a flea brush

One way to get rid of them is to use a FLEA COMB. Only this kind of comb can get rid of fleas just by brushing. the down-side is this may take from 30 min. to 1 hour and 30 min.

You probably want to keep your puppy for a long time so you should go to the vet and ask for REVOLUTION. It’s the most amzing product we used (applied topically between shoulder bones once a month) and i sterilizes present flees and avoiding new ones, works against heart worms… and more. check it out, it’s worth your dog’s health…http://www.revolution4dogs.com/content.a…
