| I thought it was 24 hours, but it might depend on the kind you put on..the box should tell you, though.

| I know Frontline says to wait three days. We have a vet on another forum I belong to and when this question was asked recently, she said they tell all their clients to wait two or three days no matter what brand of flea product they use. Can you just give him a mini bath and wash the parts he peed on? |

| You should wait at least 3 days. My groomer was the one who told me that. She said if you wash them sooner, you risk the flea meds washing out, since they haven't had enough time to fully soak into their skin. That's how long I wait and Mr. Biggs is fine. I did it after 1 day once and he got attacked by fleas
