Flea & tick drops on wet dog or dry ?

Question

i just bathed & towel dried my dog.

im goin to put flea & tick drops on her today.

should i wait till she is fully dried & put them on ?

or can i put them on her now while shes still wet/damp ?

which would be best ?

Answer 1

make sure shes fully dried.

and also keep her away from the rain just in case it does rain because it has to stay on her for about 24 hours.

Answer 2

wait untill she's fully dried.

Answer 3

You need to wait 3 days after a bath before putting on flea medication like frontline, biospot, K9 advantix etc.

the product works with the oils in the fur after a bath the oils are stripped out and therefore the product will not be effective.  Give the dog three days then apply the flea and tick medication.  Before that is just a waste of product.

Answer 4

You need to wait until they are fully dried or the drops will not absorb properly.

Answer 5

Definitely wait till she is fully dry and make sure you don't give her another bath for 24-48 hrs.  We have to do the same with our dog cause she is allergic to flea bites and only made the mistake of not waiting once.  We realized that the medicine wasn't working as good as it should have.  Just make sure she is completely dry.....  ;-)

Answer 6

She has to be dry; that way it will absorb into her skin properly.

Answer 7

Dry, Dry, Dry.

In fact my vet told me not to do the med 3 days before or 3 days after bathing my dog/cat.

Hope this helps.
