treating for fleas and ticks

[Lovetodream88]

How long does everybody wait until bathing there babies after treating them for fleas and ticks?

I do flea meds the day after baths.

We are actually starting up our flea meds tomorrow . . .I usually do flea meds March - December . . .

What's the best stuff to use, by the way?

I have Frontline purchased from the vet (which I will never do again!) They charge WAY too much and you can get the same stuff from stores, online, etc. But is there something better than Frontline?

Frontline is my favorite. I get it from Entirely Pets - much cheaper.

Frontline Tops Spot by Merial - Flea & Tick Control for Dogs

You have to wait three days after applying to bathe.

Frontline did not keep the ticks of Callie so I switched to advantix and it works great but its like the most expensive but it keeps the ticks off so its worth it.

Sometimes fleas and ticks will build up a resistance to a certain product in an area and you will have to switch to another product.
