Many of the flea control products that are safe on adult dogs are not safe for puppies less than four months of age. Occasionally, they will jump off and seek another host, and flea eggs are laid off your dog. Therefore, it is important to kill fleas on your new puppy before they can become established in your house. A flea comb will help isolate any adult fleas your puppy may have. Return to menu.
Puppies have very sharp toe nails.
They can be trimmed with your regular finger nail clippers or with nail trimmers made for dogs and cats. If this happens, neither you nor your dog will want to do this again. If your dog has clear or white nails, you can see the pink of the quick through the nail. Avoid the pink area, and you will injure the quick. The sensitivity will usually occur before you are into a blood vessel.
