My dog still has fleas after shampoo. Can I use Nexgard safely?

Question

Can Nexgard be used in addition to flea shampoo? (Dog has never had be4, was using Frontline. Found fleas and had pro shampooed; still fleas on him.)

If you wait 3-5 days after using flea shampoo, you can probably use NexGard safely. I have always had success in treating fleas using Frontline Plus. Frontline is very effective when used properly. Use the appropriate dose based on your pet's weight. Do not split doses between pets. It must be applied at least 3 days before or after a bath or grooming. It must be applied directly to the skin. This is accomplished by parting the fur with the applicator tip down to the skin. Treat ALL pets in the house for at least 3 consecutive months. The environment must also be treated. Vacuum all areas and dispose of the bag outdoors. Wash all fabrics and beddings that have had contact with any pet in the hottest water temp allowable. Knockout Area treatment (by Virbac) is just one very effective product. Lastly, treat all pets for tapeworm since fleas carry the risk of tapeworm infection. If you purchased your Frontline from your vet, you can contact Merial at www.frontline.com and take advantage of their Guarantee.
