Dealing with frickin fleas

While surviving on the streets, Jasper was assailed by fleas. Fortunately, the infestation is not as bad as it could have been. We were concerned by all the chemicals in canine tick & flea shampoos. Soon, we discovered that the products can not be used on puppies younger than 12 weeks anyway. Our veterinarian's lovely assistant told us to simply use Palmolive dishwashing soap for Jasper's baths.... the original green formula. It has worked well so far. Passing on the tip :) Of course, you should consult with your own vet before trying this remedy on your pets.
