My puppy has lice. How do you treat lice on puppies?

Ridding lice on your dog and in your household is quite the process, so I apologize in advance. You can treat lice with medication; however, you would have to go to your primary care doctor for a prescription (one specifically for puppies; as some medications for adult dogs may be too harsh on the puppy coat). There are also some shampoos available online formulated to kill lice, and I would recommend bathing your puppy according to the instructions (again making sure to get one specifically for puppies). After bathing, use a fine-toothed comb (you can purchase them online that are specific for ridding lice) to remove the lice as well. You will also have to frequently (every day/every other day) clean your puppy's bedding and anything else they come in contact with for at least 2-3 weeks.
