Is Dawn dish soap safe to bathe my puppy for sticky fur and fleas?

Question

You can bathe Athena safely in Dawn to get rid of the sticky spots in her fur, but she isn't too young for certain flea treatments. You can use Frontline Spray on her, which is safe to use on puppies as young as two days of age. You could use Advantage spot on treatment, which is safe for puppies of any age. Just get the box that has her weight on it to get the correct dose. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
