Does Frontline still work on my dog after a bath and coconut oil?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 70 lbs

I put frontline on my dog 2 days ago and today gave him a bath and put coconut oil on him. Will the frontline still work the way it's suppose too. I put the coconut oil on him to reduce his scratching.

Great question! Because you bathed Gunner two days after putting on the Frontline, it will still be working. If he had fleas, you will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home.
