How to banish fleas on puppies

I know. The misery. Suffering for your dog.
I know this sounds a bit dramatic but it's true. There's TONS of sand around my house, so that means tons of sand fleas. Which is awful. I give baths after baths, medicine after medicine, anything to banish those fleas with.

Everyone knows puppies can't have any flea treatments/sprays/shampoos until they are at least 3 months old. Yes this sucks, Ecspecially for fluffy dogs who hide umpteen thousand fleas in their coats.

Thankfully I've compiled a list of some helpful (safe) remedies.

Here it's is!:

1. Flea Collar 

Yes this is a no brainer. But a helpful one too. Here is a great tutorial for a DIY one:

What you'll need:

Vinegar 
Bandana
A bowl or cup 

Take your cup or bowl and fill it up with your vinegar.

Take your bandana and soak it for about 15 minutes.
Dry it and tie it around your dogs neck. Make sure it fits well/but not to tight.

I love a stylish flea collar! I mean who doesn't?!

2. A bath 
Another no brainer. But also a helpful one. If the flea issue isn't too bad, fill the tub up. (And I mean UP! All that should stick out is their head.
Let them soak for awhile and drown those fleas.

3. Talk to your vet. 
Talk to them. They should have helpful advice/or medication.

4. Brush!
Use a good dog brush and brush brush brush!
This helps draw out fleas.

5. Shampoo substitutes 
Try using a dab of dishwasher liquid (mild) or a little fabric softener. This is great to get rid of all those fleas. Be sure to check with your vet.

6. Keep dogs out of sand. 
Try to limite dogs outside time/ and or time in the sand.
