Fleas and ticks can be a problem for your puppy, but there are things you can do to prevent a problem from forming as well eliminating an infestation that may have already happened.  The first thing you need to do is identify the kind of pest that your dog has.  If you are able to determine that your puppy has fleas or ticks, you can treat your puppy with the proper flea or tick medication.

If you are not able to determine the type of insect, either flea or tick, then may have to consult a veterinarian. Possible help can be found here for flea and tick treatments .
