Fleas can infest a dog at any age and any time. Fleas can take refuge in a warm home during the winter, if you have no pest control. I would talk to your vet, especially for dosage amount and age to start using the medication.

i live in mn and i just had to de-flea all my animals.
fleas can live in cold weather and crawl onto your pet as a host and then spread throughout your house.
if you have never used it before he probably has a couple of fleas and eggs..best to start before it gets too warm and their numbers increase.once before spring and every couple of months reapply.
Fleas can give fatal deaths & diseases so if you do find them get him or her treated immediately and keep checking for them.
well fleas can still survive in cold weather so always b on the look out. but your puppy may not b the right age for medication yet.. i would check
