My 2-month-old puppy has fleas. What's the best gentle treatment?

Question

What’s the best way to treat a 2 month old puppy for fleas? We purchased Bella from a breeder and found a few fleas on her just don’t want to use anything harsh in her since she is a baby still. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 27 days old | 4 lbs

I would recommend Frontline Plus for Bella, unless she is really 1 lbs. If that is the case, I would recommend taking her to the vet to get something called capstar. This is a prescription and will require a vet visit.
