Your dog is so cute! He looks like a young puppy, and it's best for me to know his age so I can know if it's safe to recommend specific medication to treat him. There are certain ages at which puppies can receive flea medications, and it's not safe to give them to puppies below a certain age. You can post again with more details about his age, but I can recommend bathing him in Dawn dish soap. That's safe to do for even young puppies.
