      Linda, your dog should be fine. The labeled instructions state that re-treatments can be done early in severe infestations (but not more than once every 7 days). However, if you are worried about toxicity, you may want to contact your veterinarian.

    Do I bathe her before treatment and how long after treatment can I bathe her?

    • Adam Retzer August 28, 2019, 12:48 pm

      If you bathe her before treatment, then wait until her coat is fully dry before applying the treatment. It takes 12-24 hours for flea medicine to spread across the animal’s body. So it’s probably best to wait at least a couple of days after treatment before bathing her.
