Frontline combo - how often do I apply it?

Options
Hi, on the 4th october we gave my dog one pipette of frontline combo 20-40kg dog size as she did have fleas, they seem to have gone now luckily, but im not sure when i should give her another pipette of it, i cant see anywhere on the packet that says when she should have another, as obviously i dont want her picking any up if there are any eggs still in the house (though i have sprayed everywhere with a flea household spray thing, washed her bed, and hoover everywhere daily including the sofa cushions etc)

The frontline website says 4 weeks minimum but i dont know if thats for the combo one it just shows normal frontline, its been 5 1/2 hal;f weeks now and she has had a bath the other day too as she got filthy on her walk, and was smelling a bit!

So if anyone knows when she can have her next one?, Thanks x

    My vets told me every 6-8 weeks, personally I do 6 weeks in the summer months and then now 8 weeks. This was on my vets advice, and they also told me it was the same for combo or normal. If it were me Id do 6 weeks this time just to make sure theyd gone and then do 8 weekly until it starts to get wamer. HTH

    As I understood frontine for dogs is effective on fleas for two months and ticks for 1 month. Over the winter I use it every other month as there arn't really any ticks about.

    I was also told its also best to keep your dog dry for 48 hours afterwards - so best to do the bath time thing beforehand!
