my daughter has just got a flea of our girl she has 5 ...nearly 3week old pups what can i use and im going to have to do pups?? they have think coats what do i do iv never had a dam with fleas never mind pups :(....our was treated for fleas 3 times before pups born!! i did her while pregnent because i saw 1 ....il never use spot on again and il be ringing them to tell them ther stuf isnt working!!!

Did you treat the environment and you will have to keep retreating as the flea larvae can be around for up to a year before the flea emerges when it likes the conditions. So one flea can lay hundreds of eggs which drop off to wherever. Once you have one flea in the system it can be a very difficult thing to eradicate. Warm conditions encourage them out and vibration. I was a licenced SQP and saw the video where it showed they can smell carbon dioxide and hatch out in seconds if they fancy you which is why some people get bitten and others don't. Trouble is I wouldn't ot you shouldn't spray this around where the puppies are so you need something that can be used. I think Frontline spray from the vet is usually recommended.
So often people think the product isn't working but if you hadn't treated you would probably be seeing a load more fleas.
They are a pain in the xxxrse to say the least. 

im geting this carpet gone asap i did spray before pups came ,weve never had a flea problem in any dogs apart from this girl and she picked them up from the groomers :(...so i look up the spray thankyou x

Drop a flea collar in your vacuum so they are killed off if hatch in there.

good idea thankyou :)...i cant find out what age  can use on the pups does any one no??? x

Pretty certain Frontline spray can be used from just a few days of age -but it has to be bought from your vet, you cannot buy the spray without prescription.

Safe from 2 days of age:

Fipronil SPRAY (Frontline and generics) can be used from a few days old.

Not sure about teh envuironmental ones, but you could take pups out of the room while you spray and wait for it to dry, or just do the rest of the house.

thankyou will get it all sorted now x
