Can my dog go on the couch after applying oily flea medication?

I'm sorry Romeo has fleas! You do not wash the Pronyl OTC off, it has to stay on the skin so it can be absorbed and remain effective for four weeks. Flea collars are not the best, they often cause skin reactions and are not very effective. The Pronyl should be enough to kill the fleas. I do not recommend using flea collars on pets. If he has fleas, you will need to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Do the same with your bedding, as if he's been sleeping under the covers, you may have fleas in your bed as well. I would not allow him to sleep under the covers until you have fully disinfected your home. I hope this helps!

You will have to wait at least 24 hours before bathing Kiki so that the product has time to dry on her skin. You can touch her during this period, just avoid the place where you put the flea treatment, and wash your hands after touching her. I hope this helps!

I would say after 24 hours, Leo should be fine to see other dogs. Depending on what product you used, efficacy rates can vary. The best products are oral products such as Comfortis, Simparica or Trifexis. Some over the counter products don't work well at all. So there is variability in how well it will work. After 24hours any product you used will be in his system and any topical products dried. Please post again with any further questions.

Since a bath wets the skin significantly and also softens it, I suggest you wait a few hours until your dog is completely dry , ie has a dry hair coat as well as completely dry skin. Once the skin is dry there should be no problem with application of the tick and flea treatment.

In most cases, it will dry in an hour or two. It is best to avoid contact with the area though until it has dried. You may notice a "greasy" spot at the site of application for a few days after. This is normal and will resolve.

The medication will ideally dry for 12 hours. It's pretty close so likely the medication will work fine. Be checking Booker (especially around his tail and groin area) to be sure. Don't reapply medication with out a vet's ok. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Dogs are not supposed to get wet for at least 24 hours after application of a topical flea medication, and more than likely it was washed off during the bath. You can reapply the flea treatment, and I would give them Capstar given you have seen fleas. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes, and it's safe to be given at the same time as the spot on treatment. Just as a note, I would not recommend using Frontline. In my experience (and from the experience of many colleagues), there is a resistance to Frontline, and you may not get the best results from it. I recommend using Advantage or Revolution instead. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash their bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home.
