Flea treatment for newborn puppies is not an easy task to take on. It requires patience, dedication, and a certain degree of tolerance for the pain that must be endured. The rest of your household may be infested with fleas, but your newborn puppy can’t get them back. A newborn puppy is too small to bathe without human intervention nor would they be able to survive without the love of their mother. Flea infestations aren’t just a problem for dogs who are already grown up and mature. Puppies, who are only a few days old, can also be born with fleas on them or develop fleas from their mother’s milk. Fleas on a newborn puppy are just one of many possible dog infestation problems that the breeder might encounter. A breeder should know how to spot fleas early, when treating newborn puppies with fleas needs to be done, and why it needs to be done shortly after their birth.

Newborn Puppies With Fleas

Introduction

You are the proud parent of a litter of newborn puppies and one or more of your puppies is showing signs of fleas. In order to rid your newborn puppies of fleas, you will need to be cautious in how you treat them as some flea products can do more harm than good.

1. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap before handling newborn puppies. This will help prevent spreading disease and germs.

• Wash your hands after changing their diapers, if they have diarrhea or other bowel movements, after going to the bathroom, and before you eat or drink anything else yourself so that you don’t get sick from touching them directly. Even if you don’t think it would be possible for someone to get sick from touching a dog’s fur (especially if it’s a puppy), it is better to err on the side of caution because some viruses can survive outside a host body for hours – even days – depending on environmental factors like humidity levels!”

2. Bathe your newborn puppies with a flea shampoo for kittens and puppies that is available at pet supply stores. Pay special attention to their necks, bellies, tail and hindquarters as these are the most common areas for flea eggs and debris.

Bathing newborn puppies is important, but bathing them in a special shampoo for kittens and puppies can be even more helpful. These shampoos contain ingredients that kill fleas or their eggs, remove flea debris and feces, and make your puppy’s skin soft and smelling nice.

If you bathe your newborn puppies with a shampoo that is not specially formulated for young animals, it may dry out their skin or cause irritation if they are sensitive to the ingredients in the bath product.

3. Use a flea comb on your newborn puppies to remove all fleas, eggs, larvae and debris from their coats after bathing them. You also may want to use tweezers to remove any stubborn fleas or eggs individually from the puppies’ coats.

Flea combs are available at pet supply stores or online for purchase; they can be used for both adult and young animals alike.

4. Comb the hair surrounding the base of your newborn puppies’ tails with a fine-toothed comb, looking for any wet spots or crusty sores that may indicate the presence of flea feces or other parasites such as sarcoptic mange, roundworms, tapeworms or ticks.

If you see evidence of fleas and their byproducts around your puppy’s tail area, it’s likely that he has picked up these bugs at birth from his mother. It’s also possible that she contracted them while pregnant with her litter and passed them on to her puppies as well.

5. Clean the environment where your newborn puppies are housed daily and vacuum around their area regularly to prevent any remaining eggs or larvae from hatching in their environment and infecting them again with fleas.
