Flea Drops works the best on my puppy. My pup is only a couple of weeks old. You can buy them from a dollar store if you wanted. Let me tell you before not to use it on face ONLY on back and it will get rid of the fleas.

I work at an animal shelter, we use flea powder it is not as harmful and you can control where it goes. Put the powder in your hand first then rub on the puppy. Once you are finished make sure you wash your hands.

There’s special flea shampoo you can get. Go and buy some and give your puppy a bath regularly with it. It’ll take a bit for all the fleas to finally leave, but it’ll work.

Go to your vet and get some Advantage. That stuff works great!!! It’s supposed to work for a month, but I only have to put it on my dogs once every 2 months.

” Twenty Mule Team Borax”
The good ol time laundry aid. You used to put it into the wash with your detergent and it conditioned the water. It is quite harmless to anything living except bugs.
You can put some in your hand and fluff it into the fur. Even better you put some in the bedding.
What it does is cause the membrane that hold the fleas exoskeleton together to break down Kills them. It tends to keep the fleas away too as they seem to sense it is not good for them and new ones do not move in.

We had kittens with fleas. A Vet Tech told us to rub some Dawn dish soap on their bellies and leave it there. It worked perfect. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on puppies and it won’t hurt them either way.

Here are some home remedies that may be of help, especially if you prefer to avoid chemicals. Good Luck!
Feline Flea Proofing
Add to the food for each adult cat:
1/2 level teaspoon brewer’s yeast
1/4 level teaspoon garlic powder

Set up a plate of sudsy water with a light hovering over it. The fleas are attracted to this and drown themselves.
Flea Repellent (for cats)
1/8 teaspoon tamari soy sauce
1 crushed whole clove
1/8 teaspoon water
1 fresh garlic clove
Marinate the garlic in the liquid for about 10 minutes and then remove it.
Add 1/16 teaspoon soy liquid to each 1/2 cup cat food. Use this repellent immediately.

Herbs may be cut or whole; construct a pillow for your pet to sleep on and then stuff it with the pennyroyal, thyme, wormwood. This makes a nice gift for those favorite dogs in your life. These herbs help to repel fleas naturally and without harsh chemicals.

Herbal Flea Powder
Use herbs in powdered form only.
2 ounces pennyroyal (use sage or rosemary for cats)
1 ounce rosemary
1 ounce wormwood
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mix and store in a covered container. Use as often as any flea powder and rub into skin.
DO NOT LET POWDER GET INTO PET’S EYES.
Herbal Flea Powder
1 part eucalyptus powder
1 part pennyroyal powder (use sage or rosemary for cats)
1 part fennel powder
1 part yellow dock powder
Combine all ingredients in a shaker top jar and shake to mix.
Apply to your pet’s fur by brushing backward with your hand or comb and sprinkling the powder into the roots of the hairs. Concentrate on the neck, back, and belly. Use just enough to add a little odor to the hairs.
For severe flea infestations, treat daily; otherwise, use two or three times a week.http://www.recipegoldmine.com/pets/pets.…
