    Does the pup have fleas/worms? A lot of people - only treat when there’s an infection. There are a number of places for example WestLab that you can send a poo sample off to for testing for worms.

    Unless your little dog has ablack dandruff type dirt under his hair ( which is flea pooh ) then dont put unnecessary chemicals into his blood stream. Fleas are only found on neglected dogs who live in filthy conditions. A modern family home is clean and they dont get them there. There is far too much peddling of chemicals to new owners for their dogs.

    Fleas can be found anywhere & on well looked after dogs. They don't have to be neglected. They can pick them up on a walk to the park!

    However I agree with not putting chemicals on a dog that has no parasites.
