my pup is prone to fleas. we bathe him with soap for fleas but still the fleas is back. the mom's pup dint have it when she was her age. We dont tie the pup and she runs around every time the gate is left opened but she comes back right away. What other treatment do you recommend to get rid of these unwanted fleas? I would appreciate it for the responses. thanks in advance.

I like to use eucalyptus leaves and bay leaves in the dogs outside bed and any very fine talcum powder on the inside bed.

finally, the fleas are gone. The vet mentioned about a solution called frontline. it works! the dogs are now cleaned and free from fleas.

I think you should go and see your vet. He will give a shot of ivermectin if required and it will help.

Ok, the option is still open when your puppy grows up. Just few shots and no tension.

Fleas hate eucalyptus oil. Put some of the oil on a tissue and rub it over your dogs back. It will help get rid of fleas. Fleas also breed in the dirt outside your house, so plant a mint bush in the dirt and fleas will leave. They hate it!

Hi you could use Frontline for puppies which are around 2 months up. It would kill all those fleas on your pets. But it would better too if you bring it to your vet first
