Hi! I don't know if you're using something for the fleas already, but with Naja, and Moo, because they are still too young for Program, we are using the stuff you squeeze onto their necks. It's an oil, I think it's called Advantage. That seems to be working well on our flea problem, and I haven't seen any ticks on either puppy yet too. For the food, I would definately suggest switching foods. Purina has lots of fillers, it's like feeding Molly McDonalds every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although not as bad as others that are out there. You want too look for a food that is grain free, and 24% Crude Protein or less. The lower protein helps protect her bones and joints from growing too quickly preventing hopefully problems down the road. I also give Naja Glucosamine supplements to help keep her joints healthy. I'm at work right now, or I'd tell you what they are. I can tell you that they come in yummy treats that are made from peanut butter, or liver, there's a few different ones. The pups love them!
Hope this helps.
Slobbery kisses for Molly from Naja, Moo and me!
