It doesn't say it's safe for puppies on the packaging, so no I would not use it. It won't work anyway, these "natural" collars do nothing. I would apply Revolution on Princess. It's a spot on treatment that works great, and has been tested to prove it's safe on puppies six weeks of age. I hope this helps!
