Will my dog's Nexgard oral flea treatment work after a bath?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Eskimo Dog | Male | neutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 40 lbs

I just gave my dog a nexgard oral flea treatment right after a bath while he is still wet. I wasn’t thinking straight. Is it not going to work now?

No worries about him getting wet, or bathing with this product. These oral products are not effected by bathing, or getting wet like the topical products are. He can be bathed at any time when he gets this product and it will still be effective. I hope that helps and all is well with Roscoe.
