My 10-week-old puppy has fleas and an itchy patch. What to do?

Question

I have a cane Corso and pitbull mix puppy. He is roughly 10 weeks old. Currently fighting off what fleas he has before winter comes. He has a small patch where fleas bit him, where he has itched, his fur in thinking. Is this normal? If not what should I do?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend using a flea and tick preventative such as NexGard to help get rid of the fleas. You will have to see your veterinarian to have this preventative prescribed. I hope this helps! If this does not work, I would discuss further options with your veterinarian has there are multiple flea and tick preventatives to choose from
