Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | spayed | 14 lbs

Our Mini schnauzer has fleas and we're looking to rid them from her, looking at Adams™ Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo with Precor®. We have been applying Frontline Gold, concerned its stopped working hence the fleas, your advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Frontline has showed a lot of resistance with fleas. Personally I don’t recommend Adam’s. I would use Nexgard, Simparica, Bravecto, Advantix ii, or the Seresto collar. Good luck!
