7 Week old toy poodle with fleas! How do I get them off?

I have a toy poodle that is only 7 weeks old and she has fleas.



I really would like not to use chemicals. Is there anything I can bathe her in? We have tried Head and Shoulders but it does not seem to work!



She did not get them from my house... She had them when we got her, we noticed it on the way home.7 Week old toy poodle with fleas! How do I get them off?
Dont use people shampoo it will only make it worse. There is flea and tick shampoos you can bathe her with you can find them at a petstore or vet office. Here is some more info

Step1The best way to get rid of fleas is by prevention; fleas thrive in heat and humidity (and are most active in summer and fall), so assess your pet and his environment frequently.

Step2Help prevent fleas indoors by vacuuming your home thoroughly and frequently, paying close attention to corners, cracks, crevices and basements. Dispose of vacuum cleaner bags conscientiously, as adult fleas can escape. Also, choose your pet's friends wisely; avoid animals you suspect may carry fleas. Dog parks are fun, but a move-able feast for fleas!

Step3Remove any fleas from your pet using a fine-toothed pet comb designed for flea removal, and drop the fleas into soapy water to drown them.

Step4Wash pet bedding in hot, soapy water weekly; this is the most likely site for flea eggs and larvae.

Step5Prune foliage and keep grass trimmed short to increase sunlight, as flea larvae cannot survive in hot, dry areas. Remove any piles of yard debris close to your home.

Step6Bathe pets weekly, if possible, to get rid of fleas. If bathing is not an option, speak to your veterinarian about appropriate alternatives.

Step7Watch your pet for signs of flea trouble: excessive scratching and biting, especially around the tail and lower back, and possibly raw patches where the animal has been biting and scratching himself. Also watch for 'flea debris' (black, granular dried blood) and fleas themselves on your pet's skin.

Step8Talk to your veterinarian about various treatments for your flea-plagued pet: a flea adulticide applied monthly to the skin; a monthly pill that prevents fleas from reproducing but doesn't kill adult fleas; and multipurpose products that prevent flea reproduction and control heartworms, hookworms, whipworms and roundworms. Also consider flea collars and flea powders.

Step9Look into chemical flea-treatment products to apply by hand around the environment in spray or powder form. Ask your veterinarian for a recommendation on the best product and how to use it.

We have been told the best thing to use on puppies for fleas is Dawn Dishwashing Liquid--the regular kind (not Dawn Ultra) This worked great when our next door neighbors got a puppy that had fleas.

Hope this helps!
