Can you use a flea bath after Frontline?

Answer by  kendall (95)

Wait at least 24 hours for any type of bath, but it is not recommended. Frontline works by making the flea paralyzed and die within 12 hours of biting your dog. This is before the females can lay eggs. Just vacuum at least twice a week buy and cut up a flea collar and place it in your sweeper bag.

You should wait until the Frontline application is completely dry before giving your dog a flea bath. That usually takes about 24 hours.

No, it is recommended to wait 3 days after applying frontline to give a flea bath. Otherwise you'll wash it off. Instead do the bath first and then apply the frontline medication.

If I were you I would do the flea bath first. Then weight until their coat is completely dry then apply the Frontline.

No. You apply Frontline to the skin so if you use a flea bath after you apply the Frontline it will wash it off. Give the dog a bath to try to remove the fleas, then apply the Revolution if you want to use a bath in addition.

Any opportunity to take a refreshing flea bath should never be passed up. The Frontline will only add to the moment.
