Silly question about Frontline

Oreo is a havanese, and we tend to bath him at least once per week. I stopped taking him for walks when we found a tick in our apartment. I am going to go pick up Frontline for tick prevention at the vet. My question is: since Frontline goes on his fur, won't I be washing my $40 down the drain when he gets bathed? We are going to get him groomed next week (first time). Should I wait until after he's groomed to put it on him?

You apply it to his skin. You have to part his fur and get it on the skin so it gets absorbed into his bloodstream. If you apply the frontline one day and wait like 1 - 2 days bathing will not wash it away.

We use BioSpot cause it's cheaper and usually wait a week to give Kasey her bath.



Thanks so much for the info!!!Chat Icon

ITA. We were told not to bathe the dogs within 2-3 days after applying it so it wouldn't wash off, so we usually put it on them the day after their bath. You should be fine even though you wash your dog weekly.

You have to part his fur as best you can and apply it to the skin. It will absorb into the skin,andhe cannot be bathed for 2 days. Apply once a minth.
