fleas in puppies

My puppy is only 8 weeks old and I found a flea on her yesterday and another 3 today. I have read that flea treatment such as Frontline is not recommended for ogs under 12 weeks. Anyone have any ideas how to treat her or should I just wait until we see the vet next week? TIA

I would go to the vet. Not sure about the lower age limit for Frontline but if she already has one or two fleas on her I definitely wouldn't leave it a week before seeking help!

You can buy Frontline puppy spray from the vet which is safe from two weeks old.
