Yes, it can be used on puppies six weeks of age and older, but I do not recommend using it. For one, Hartz products are not very good quality, do not work well, and there have been many reports of adverse effects from use on puppies and dogs. Plus, flea collars do not work well to prevent fleas. I personally recommend using a spot on treatment such as Advantage or Revolution. Both of them work extremely well and are safe to use on Haydee.
