...that bathing your pet with flea shampoo after applying Frontline, K9Advantix, or Advantage, it will STRIP ALL OF THE PROTECTION OFF.

I know now.:

Bathing your dog with Flea Shampoo after applying any topspot is actually pretty dangerous. You are mixing chemicals and risking a life threatening reaction.

OP, I am sure your dog is fine, but this is just a warning to anyone else who doesn't know. If you apply a topspot, make sure any other flea products you use are from the same brand and are compatible so you don't risk any bad reactions.

Yep. I always have to watch what day I apply it since one of my dogs gets weekly baths!

A similar thing apparently happens if you apply it shortly AFTER a bath. Something about not enough oils on the skin to distribute it?

yeah, if you choose to do the flea shampoo you can only do it once and then wait a while (I forget how long) before you do it again - it can be toxic for the doggie, nevermind the fact that it doesn't work! (we had fleas a couple of years ago and the vet rx stuff was the BEST!!)
