Default Is there a certain time you must leave flea

medicine on a dog before grooming? I scheduled a grooming appt for my puppy for tomorrow. I found fleas on her this afternoon and got flea meds from the vet. Can I still take her to the groomers or will it interfere with the flea med since I just put it on her? Will they even groom her if they find fleas on her?

Frontline needs at least 24 hours, but 72 is better. I would imagine they are mostly the same - 24 hours at the very least.Also, you should wait at least 24 hours after a bath before applying them, because it will take a while for them to become totally dry. When the pores are wet the stff doesn't get sucked up as quickly or as well.They should still groom her - I would imagine yours isn't the only dog at the groomers that has fleas! She may have even picked them up there (no tdefinitely, and I'm in no way trying to put down the groomer, but she could have picked them up ANYWHERE). If possible, get her groomed first then but flea control on her, that way you'll be certain it won't get washed off, and many of the fleas will already be gone.You should consider keeping your dog on flea control year-round for the best protection - I don't know where you live, but around here it gets above 45 degrees F often throughout the winter, and at that temperature fleas can hatch and you can start to see some fle problems. Fleas can live indoors year-round as well. Even if your dogs doesn't have fleas to begin with, you can pick them up somewhere else, like a friend's house, and bring them home to your dog, or your dog can pick them up from somewhere.

you should put the flea meds on AFTER grooming. Yeah, they will still groom her even though she has fleas. Sometimes, the groomers are the ones that find fleas and let you know. You may need to call the vet to see if you should wait a while before getting her groomed.
