| Too young for flee meds? Bentley is 12 weeks but we've seen fleas where we are staying. Is he too young to wear a flea collar or to apply something like frontline? |

| That only works to kill fleas that are on him and will not prevent more from getting on him after the bath.

| Neem oil spray is safe 12than weeks and up also use cedar oil on bedding and fully launder it every 23three days while vaccimming. This biggest thing is to keep your house from being a breeding ground. Use food geade organic DE in powder form on your yard. Added live neos will continually kill all forms of fleas and orher paracites.

| We're staying in a vacation house which is where the fleas are. So I'm not concerned about preventing him from getting fleas. Just making sure that they are off of him since our home is flea free. |

| It works quite well actually the original unscented blue dawn. It kills adults and larva and helps to loosen the eggs It can also be put in a bowl under a light to kill free roaming fleas.
