Can I bathe my dog before or after applying K9 Advantix?

Question

My dogs have recently gotten fleas so I bought them all K9 Advantix. A few of them are indoor dogs, and they need baths. Can I give them a bath and then apply the medication? Or can I bathe them after I apply it?

It lasts through water anyway but why not just bathe them first...then it can be a fresh application. But I would bathe them with a flea remover first.

Answer 2

It's ok to give them a bath beforehand using a mild shampoo formulated for dogs. I would not recommend a flea and tick shampoo as they can be very harsh.

If you want to bathe them afterward you can, just wait as long as it says on the package. I think it's 24 hrs but it could be 48 hrs.

Answer 3

no you can't give them a bath for 2 days after it was applyed because it will wash off after you put it on

Answer 4

Bathe before applying the Advantix, then wait several days before bathing again (the dogs, not you!!)

Answer 5

Don't apply it and then wash it off! What's the point?
