I use Frontline Plus flea topical, can I use this shampoo and it not wash off the frontline?

I do not use frontline, nor any other contact flea solution. The shampoo is great for fungal and infection issues with dogs and I highly recommend it,

I use both. My vet told me not to get the dog wet for 24 hours after you apply frontline. After that, you're good to go. I've seen no reduction in frontline protection while using this shampoo.

As far as I know, yes. My dog uses Frontline Plus and I use this shampoo and have never had any problems.

I don't see why not, as long as you don't bathe the dog the recommended time before and after applying the front line. I use both and have not had a problem.

No. This is for skin problems. It was really good at removing ringworm from my two kittens. You will need a special shampoo for fleas. Or a prescription I assume.

It really depends on the detergent or shampoo you wish to use. I use Meg's Gold Class straight no dilution on the C setting for a pre rinse wash, then rinse off the excess dirt with a pressure washer(or strong hose nozzle) if I'm doing a correction. If it is just a maintenance wash, then pre rinse wash on C, then hose off, then foam on E, them mit while foaming and two bucketing, then sheet with no nozzle on the hose. Hope this helped you!

James Evans' answer seems spot on and was very helpful. I am a big fan of K9 Advantix (and Advantix II). Since switching from Frontline, my dog has had not one single tick, flea, or other nastiness, so I won't be switching any time soon.

It depends on your dog. My breed is supposed to have a somewhat harsh, stand off coat, so I do not use conditioner on it. I have not had any problems with this shampoo drying out either his coat or his skin.

I would repeat in a week for a severe flea problem. You must also treat the yard with a yard spray if the pet goes outside. Use a product like Frontline/Advantix on animal.

I use to have a ton fleas, and I tried taking using 20 mule team borax soap from the grocery aisle. I left it on the rug for about 5 days, and that worked! The reason for the 5 days, is that when a flea is dying it tries to hatch its eggs. They can't breathe with the boric soap, and when the eggs start hatch they are already dead

I am just a customer, and don't know much about the product. You'd be best researching the Frontline website and see what they say about it. To my knowledge you shouldn't use those things on kittens under six months or it could kill them. Do a little research online. When I had kittens show up with fleas after adoptions or rescue I always bathed them and their bedding to kill the fleas. There are a number of safe organic flea and tick treatments out there. I'd go for those! In my situation I didn't have that option. My cats are older and VERY feral, and it would have been impossible to bathe them. A kitten is much easier! Read as much as you can about any product or food you use on your pets. There is so much information available on pet medical websites now. As an informed owner, you alone can make the best decisions for them!

I've never used Advantage so I couldn't tell. I prefer Frontline TopSpot cause it kills ticks, which Advantage does not. I tried this product cause it has the exact same active ingredient at the same doseage as Frontline for much, much less. I have used it for 3 months now and cannot tell a difference between it and Frontline

I've never heard of someone using it on a cat but I don't see how it could hurt. The name of the product is even listed as PET shampoo on my page. There is no medication in the shampoo. If it was a flea shampoo I would say absolutely no. Hope it works out for you. This is the best shampoo I've found.

No idea. I had fleas for over two years and one treatment of conquer has eliminated them. None in almost 12 months now.

The difference is the chemical used. AdvantageII works only on fleas, and it DOES work. Frontline is supposed to work on fleas, ticks, and others, but from my experience it does not work at all on fleas.

Not at all; it leaves the coat soft and smelling fresh. After toweling the shampoo off, the coat will be a little damp for a short while. I did animal assisted therapy with my Sheltie and used it on him before our nursing home visits.

Yes. I've coated literally my entire house in this stuff before. And I'm about to have to do it again since the fleas came early this year - caught me off guard. I wipe it down after it dries - but it's never caused any discoloration or damage.

It does wash off, but it is the only thing I've found that slows the fleas down!
