The monthly flea & tick medicine is a common kind, prescribed by the vet, that comes as a liquid in something resembling an eyedropper that you put on the dog’s skin, between the shoulder blades. It’s supposed to absorb into the skin and protect from fleas and ticks. I’m worried that if I give her a bath, it will wash the medicine out of her skin. After applying the medicine, how long should I wait before giving her a bath?

Thanks!

What is the best flea and tick medicine?




Right now my dogs take Comfortis but it’s just for fleas. We live in the woods and I think it’s important that I put them on something that takes care of both fleas and ticks. I’d perfer it to be a pill but from what I’ve seen so far there isn’t a medicine that is in pill form that takes care of fleas and ticks. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best prevention for both?




I have 3 adult cats and 1 kitten (about 3 months old) and they all have fleas and ticks. What is the best flea and tick medicine that actually works and is affordable? I prefer to use a one-spot treatment. Links and referrals are welcome! Thanks!
