I agree with Opal but have something to add. Even if you aren't an established customer they will recommend something to you. The counter/front person can't diagnos things but if you ask for something for a specific problem (flea control, ear mite meds.) the can recommend. Frontline makes a spray. You can use rubbeer gloves and spray your hand then rub it onto the pup.
Use Advantix or Frontline from the vet. It is safe for puppies and is applied where they can't ingest it. If you use a spray or powder they can ingest it when the lick themselves.
Usually if you are already an established customer at your vet they will sell it to you, no visit needed.

After you bathe the dog with Dawn dish washing liquid try Avon Skin so Soft mixed with water and used as a dip. (01/08/2008)

Baby shampoo works really well. It does kill fleas and all you have to do is brush the fleas off the puppies after the shampoo is on the dog 6-8 minutes.
If the puppies have really bad fleas you should probably do the bath suggestion two times, or do it just in case. After you give them the bath you might want to change their beds or clean them. If it has not worked it should be recommended to ask a vet what you should do. (11/28/2008)
