It's hard to find fleas and ticks on them so if there is a long term solution that is waterproof, it will be great! But I haven't really had too much tick/flea problems! |
Apply the frontline after bathing this way you won't have to worry about bathing them again for a few days. its good for a month.

Heartworm pills are given once a month.

frontline, flea collar, and a weekly flea bath is way too much chemicals for a yorkie puppy (or adult). the frontline topical should be enough, if it isn't, try switching to another topical medication. flea collars are dangerous for small dogs and have too many chemicals in my opinion. plus the dog can get it stuck in its mouth and ingest the chemicals which is even worse. If you are using a flea shampoo with chemicals i'd stop that too. a herbal one is better if you insist on something to ward off bugs.
