My dog still has fleas. When can I apply Petarmor Plus topical?

Pet's info: Dog | German Wirehaired Pointer | Female | 40 lbs

Hi, we used vetguard plus for dogs on my dog 2 weeks ago and she still had fleas. So We gave her a flea bath last night with GNC dog essentials flea and tick shampoo but realized it didn't kill fleas it just repealed them. And our dog still has fleas so we got Bio active care flea & tick that kills and gave her a bath tonight. My question is... when can I put more flea drops on? I bought Petarmor plus for dogs from Costco and want to see if that will work. Thank you!!

The Vetguard plus contains a product that is not good for killing fleas, so it makes sense why you are still seeing them. The Petarmor is a totally different product, so it's safe to use and has ingredients that are good at killing fleas. I'd recommend trying that product and seeing how it goes. The fleas should all be dead after 3 days. I hope that helps and you get this problem under control soon.
