I lost my mind when I found a flea on my girl I took her to petsmart for a dip and now I do a flea bath for her.
Plain old Dawn works great as a "flea" bath!!! Cheap and no chemicals, but it will wash away all the fleas currently on you pup! Then you should wait 2 days and treat. That will get any that sneak on in between, and kill any others that get on.

P.S. If you have a flea infestation in your house or yard, you'll need to have the area sprayed (you should know if it's that bad in the house because you'll have bites). Flea meds alone won't stop them if they're that bad already, though they will take care of a minor "infestation". My vet said once to me that there are something like 10 fleas (?? can't remember the exact number) for every adult flea you FIND. Gross, huh?!!
