So you should put it on the dog at least a day or two after its bath and DO NOT BATHE for a few days after the treatment. I used to the same thing...bathe them and apply the treatment. WRONG WAY TO DO IT and I didn't realize it either. I was told the correct way by my vet and by the dog groomer.

So now you can relax.
Good to know. I was doing the treatment on bath day. Now I will switch and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for sharing.
