First give your dog a good flea bath using flea shampoo. Then afterwards use one of those once a month flea medications such as Frontline Plus or Advantage II. It is a once a month flea medication that will prevent fleas & ticks from getting on him or her for a month. You apply it topically. You should also put your dog on a once a month heartworm preventative, but your Veterinarian would need to test your dog for the heartworms first to make sure he or she is negative for them before beginning the once a month heatworm preventative. It is a simple blood test.

∙ 13y agoVets have some sort of medication you put on the backs of their necks that is very effective-- I think the name is frontline. It works well on my dad's Yorkie who is not much bigger than a puppy. It takes care of ticks, too. It is expensive but that's life.

What will kill feas on your 10 week old puppie?
If your puppy has fleas then you have a problem that spreads further than the fleas you can see on your puppy. Fleas suck blood form you puppy then jump off into the beading (and your house) that your puppy uses to lay eggs. These eggs hatch into little grubs that live of the debris (skin flakes etc.) in the bedding then when they get big they pupate in crevices in the floor etc before hatching out again as fleas. This means that to get rid of your flea problem you have to get rid of all the stages of the flea. The best defense is to throw out the dogs bedding (and get new), and vacuum the area/house to get up as many of the pupa as possible. You can then turn to the fleas on the dog. The puppy is very young to use chemicals (unless you get them from the vet) so try catching all the fleas with a flea comb twice a day. Stick the fleas you catch into soapy water. After a time of regular vacuuming, shaking the new doc bedding outside each day and catching the fleas on your puppy, the infestation should go away. However if your dog socializes with other dogs he will get more fleas so keep a good eye out for them.
