Defleaing 2 week old puppies

Asked by aof3 about 1 month ago, 5 answers.

I have read at this web site that Dawn dish liquid can kill fleas. Do I delute the Dawn? What ratio? Is it a regular bath, soap then rinse? Original Dawn in my area is a blue color. Do I use original strength or the concentrated?
Mom dog is flea...

free, but she carries them in from outside. How often can I bathe them with this solution?

I dont know that dawn works or not I think that you should definitly talk to your vet before messing w thazt.. I mean with the puppys only being @ wweks as soon as there 6 to 8 weeks the vet will give you puupy frontline which wroks like acharm..I just got it for my new puppy..after that I know your not supposed to bathe them often because it will wear off the frontline..

talk to your vet...even at 6-8 weeks, frontline is a bit much for them. at two weeks, there isnt much you can do but wait it out..do not treat the mother either at this point, since any flea meds will pass through in her milk...
I dont see why dawn dish soap would hurt and I have heard that it helps, but it wasnt through a vet I heard it...be safe and contact your vet...good luck

Yes, dawn dish soap is very mild and that is why it is reccomend for puppies this young with fleas, they are to young to use a harsh flea and tick treatment but they need to be treated because the fleas can make them enemic. This is what we tell our clients at the vet hospital where I work to use. or you can check out the age and weight on Revoluiton. But please to not buy any over the counter treatments, they are harmful. So please only use Dawn

Ditto to Harley...Dawn is the protocol for fleas on tiny pups. and ditto on never buying ANYTHING over the counter for fleas...for adults or pups...
