What kind of shampoo can I use on puppy after applying advantage the previous week?

He's a small dog and seems to need a bath once a week, but this seems to wash too much of the advantage off and he has fleas again within a couple weeks.What kind of shampoo can I use on puppy after applying advantage the previous week?
Advantage is ';losing it's edge'; for killing fleas. They're becoming immune to it.





Change flea meds. Try Frontline or Revolution. (you need a heartworm test for Revolution).





Advantage needs to ';set'; for 2 days. After that, it's gone into the dog's system and you can wash the dog as much as you want.What kind of shampoo can I use on puppy after applying advantage the previous week?
The advantage is absorbed into the skin in about three days, so washing him isn't going to have any effect on the advantage. Make sure you use a flea and tick product that kills both the adults and the eggs or larva. If you are using something that only kills the adults, that is why he has them again so soon. Try Advantix which kills both the adults and the eggs. Also be sure that your house is flea free by setting off some flea bombs in the house to kill them or get a professional exterminator in to do the house and surrounding areas outside.
I always you Harte tearless shampoo for puppies. You can buy it at Wal-mart or if you live at Ausltrailia the Big W (I know about Aussi places because its where my sister lives)I've also seen it at many pet stores and at some vet's.





Hope I helped you and your dog!
You shouldn't bathe dogs once a week unless you have a very good reason and a very gentle shampoo. Over bathing dries their skin out really badly. Once advantage soaks in, it should be water proof and the way it works is it kills the fleas that bite the dog.
Tropiclean it a non soap based shampoo...Some dogs shampoos start off with a soap base this will wash off the flea medication..You may want to think about getting frontline pluss it's water prof
Johnson's baby shampoo - i have a small puppy too and was told by the breeder to use this.
