Alecia is right. You never want to use Frontline or Advantage at bathtime. Always do it a couple days before or a couple days after a bath.

We use Frontline Plus on 4 dogs and 2 cats, and pretty much do it year round. There are some months in the deep winter when I might slack off if there are no signs of ticks or fleas, but otherwise, living in the south, they get it year round. And the dogs get their Heartguard year round too.

We have always had good luck with this product! And it is watery and will leave an oily spot on their fur for a few days, but not a "blob". The trick is to get it in a spot on their neck (preferably between the shoulder blades) where they cannot reach and lick it. Just dispense it slowly and you should be fine.

Good luck!
