on his head. I couldn't grab the one on his head because it moved to fast and I spent 30 minutes trying to find it again but no luck.

He is on Frontline but the dog that lives upstairs from our apartment brough back fleas/ticks from the owner not using preventative in Wisconsin.

-What should I do? I can't find any more fleas but with all of his hair they could be in there somewhere.

-Should I bathe him and reapply treatment, just reapply treatment, or just give him a bath?

-Does clipping his hair shorter make a difference in terms of fleas and ticks?

Thanks!
