It sounds like your dog got wet soon after applying Frontline, which might affect its effectiveness. Let's address your concern about whether you need to reapply the treatment.
- Check the Frontline instructions for guidance on reapplication.
- Frontline typically requires 48 hours to fully absorb.
- If in doubt, consult with a vet for personalized advice.
When Frontline is applied to your dog, it needs some time to be absorbed into the skin and become effective. Usually, it is recommended to keep your pet dry for at least 24-48 hours after application. Since your dog got wet soon after the treatment, there is a possibility that it may not work as intended. Check the product instructions or contact the manufacturer for specific guidance. If you notice any ticks or fleas, or if you remain concerned, you may want to reapply or seek advice from a veterinary professional.
