[QUOTE="donna723, post: 67057, member: 1883"] These may be dumb questions, and I'm sure you already know this but ... ...are you bathing him right before you put the flea medications on? Our vet always says that it works best on "dirty dogs" and that you should wait at least 2 or 3 days after you've bathed them to use the Frontline. Bathing dries their skin a bit and strips off the natural oils, and the Frontline won't work nearly as well. ... and are you sure that you got the right size Frontline for the dogs' weight? My smallest Boston, Ragan, is borderline between two sizes. Her weight will vary anywhere from 19 to 21 pounds, depending on how many "snacks" I let her have. I once made the mistake of getting her the Frontline for "20 lbs. and under" and it didn't work on her at all! The next size up, for over 20 pounds, worked very well on her though. And my other Boston, my tubby little 26-pound Ms. Katy, I just ask for the "little fat girl" size for her!
