Does this wash off Frontline type flea treatments?

I usually don't bathe my maltese for at least 7 days after heartworm/flea treatment, just as a precaution.

I was told by the dog wash by me that you need to wait 3 days before bathing. So I put it on after the bath, so I don't forget

frontline is supposedly water proof and doesnt wash off. providing you do no bathe 2 days before or after application.

No. Make sure you wait at least 3 days after application before your bathe your dog to make sure it does not wash off and you will be just fine. :)

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 don't know for sure but my guess is no. Whenever I get any of this on my skin, it does wash right off.

I don't recommend using flea shampoos or sprays. They are not as effective as the dermal application types of flea medication such as Frontline or Advantix. I think you will find these types of flea control/preventative much easier to apply and much more effective. You can shampoo your dog a week after application with any shampoo, including the Bio-Groom.

I use this along with regular flea treatments and its fine. This bath is so great you just spray it on there fur you do not need to wet them down rub in and rinse off and your kitty will smell so great!

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.

I haven't used it on bedding or anything like that. I think this is formulated to use directly on pets, and there are other products that would probably be better suited to use in the environment. Just as I wouldn't use an upholstery spray on my pets, I wouldn't use pet spray on upholstery. I've used products like Zodiac Carpet & Upholstery flea spray with good results. I think the products designed for fabric might be stronger, primarily because they're not applied to skin. For that reason, I think they'd be more effective. This Merial Frontline spray is a little expensive, as I recall. I really think you'd get better results for less money with a product that's geared toward your specific needs (upholstery). Good luck!

It really depends what you are trying to rid your home of. For fleas, I put it in an empty carpet fresh container. (I also purchased the neem powder- this breaks the whole flea cycle).I moved the furniture away from the wall and started at the doorway and shook a steady stream in a zig zag pattern. Make sure you go away from the door towards the opposite side of the room. You can let it sit or sweep it into the carpet with a broom (this is what I did). I let it sit in the carpet for about 24 hrs. I vacuumed it up. This is also a safe way to apply to pets!! This stuff is amazing!! I use an old pepper shaker when applying to my animals, it's much easier!! It really depends what you are trying to rid your home of. For fleas, I put it in an empty carpet fresh container.

It's very effective. Don't be shunned by the price. It's practical the same results! I've been using Frontline for years and switche to this and I can't event tell the difference. My pets are happy and fleas/mites-free.

I would not continue front line (for fleas and ticks) but you still need heart worm medicine. Heartgard.

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.

The medicine only kills the fleas and eggs on the animal. You still need to spray flea killer on furniture and wherever the pet sleeps, wash bed linens, and vacuum frequently until the fleas are eradicated.

As far as I know it is. I will tell you it works. Started using them and the fleas have disappeared. Good Luck

It worked great with my old he front loader for cloth diapers. I used a full scoop in a high water setting with a pre-rinse and extra rinse. Our new top loader he wasn't so great with it and I had to change detergents. I used to love this stuff...easy, inexpensive and no rashes. Good luck.

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.

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.

We have tried several products for the cat and this kills adult and newborn fleas. I treat the ground outside and then the animals and the combination works.
