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.
