After applying the Advocate flea treatment, it's important to allow the medication to fully dry and absorb into your dog's skin. This process usually takes around 24 hours. During this time, it's best to minimize close contact to prevent inadvertently wiping off or diminishing the treatment's effectiveness. After waiting for the medication to work its magic, you can resume those cherished cuddle sessions with peace of mind.
