Also, make sure you put the preventative on like the day after you bathe and wait as long as you can before bathing again (so I bath Lacy, put the preventative on the next day, and the 6 days later bathe her again since I bathe every week). You can use a capstar pill if you see fleas later on in the month. It kills fleas within 30 minutes and lasts for 24 hours. |
Yes, it sounds as if we use the same practice. I do all of the above. So let me ask you this, what about the heartworm preventative? Does bathing her affect that and the other protective properties or just the topical application?
