disorder Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) I was just wondering.. I gave Snot his flea treatment when I got home from work today. And afterwards noticed he is due for a bath, how long do I wait after putting the flea treatment on? Would tonight be too soon to bath him? Or should I wait until tomorrow... or the next day? Cheers. Edit: It is Avantix 3 month one.. Edited November 12, 2007 by disorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvabull Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I would usually wait 24hrs but I'm not to sure if it's better to wait though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charli73 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 From memory Frontline recommend you wait 48hrs before washing, to give the treatment time to spread over the oils in the skin, which would be washed off if you were to bath him... Just check the instruction leaflet in the packet if you still have it but I would try to put treatments on straight after bathing... Id at least leave it 24hrs..

Poodle wrangler Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'm pretty sure it says it's OK to bath on the packet, but I'd wait 48 hours to be sure. Too expensive to waste the stuff. I'm not sure what the Advantix 3 month one is? The Advantix I use is monthly for fleas, fortnightly for paralysis tick. IS there a new one out?

I am at work now so I can't check the box.. It's just regular Advantix, pack of 3. Now that you say.. I have it stuck in my head that it's one dose every 3 months? Have I been using it wrong!? Is it once a month you dose them? Poor baby.. no wonder he had a flea on him then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie-boy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Wait 48 hours and then bathe. And yep - Advantix is once a month not every 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
