Greylover97 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I wanted to give the kids a bath today and then looked at the calendar. There Frontline is due on Wednesday. I know you can't bath two days after application but is there any rule that says you can't bath two days before application?

grey8greys Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Bathing two days before an application should be fine. I wouldn't apply any sooner as their pores open while bathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snazzy_Chloe Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I heard 3 days either side - but cannot remember where I heard it. (probably on this forum). The directions on Frontline say not to apply more often than 30 days, if you prolong it a couple of days it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 You are supposed to be able to do it immediately, but old timers have told me it doesn't work as well on a clean dog. A lot of people say wait two days before or after a bath. The Frontline can go on a couple of days late too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooker914 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I've always been told no baths two days before or after application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytexplorer Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 My Apply 3 days before or 3 days after. The reason is because the medication is delivered via the oils in the dog's coat. It takes a couple of days for the meds to "stream". Bathing the dog distrubs or removes the oil from the dog's coat. I always bathe first, and medicate 3 days (or more) later. Hope this makes sense.
