Advantix - How Waterfast Is It

[sllebasi]

I put advantix on my dog yesterday morning at around 7 am. last night at 8.30 pm, had to give her a bath because she obviously had rolled herself in something (cat pee???), she is going to the kennels on thursday in an area that is known for paralysis ticks etc.

Should I reapply perhaps on Thursday morning just to cover her, or perhaps a half dose???

They say not to bathe for 48hrs after application, so maybe there is someone you could call re applying it aggain?

I wouldn't re-apply Advantix at all.Put a Preventic tick collar on your dog till the next Advantix is due. I usually apply it every 2 weeks & they both swim everyday but I don't shampoo them for 48 hours after application. If

there is any accidents with mine within that 48 hour period & they need to be washed I use no rinse shampoo by Chris Christensen,works really well. Hope I was of some help.

if she wasnt going up to the kennels I wouldnt be worried about it.

just rang bayer, they said not before 2 weeks should it be reapplied, told me to ring vet. vet said to take another vial of advantix with me to kennels, and if they feel there is a problem or outbreak they can give her small dose.
