<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't have an answer about the topical treatments
for fleas. I only apply treatment when we have an issue with fleas around
here. I have found that neither of the well know topicals work with
ticks, IMO. I use a collar called Preventic. It does wonders
on killing ticks. They are a bit pricey, I can get them through
Anicare, Inc for about 11 each, but they are rated to last 3 months, so not as
bad as it first comes across. Of course when we bathe, they come
off, but never saw any rain affect their lifespan.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I don't have any answers for you, but would like to clarify the getting
wet thing. I'm pretty sure topical treatments will only wash off if you
bathe the dog before the treatment has a chance to be absorbed into the
skin. <BR><BR><BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did ask the vetlady about that. I believe
the box says not to bathe 2 days before or 2 days after topical
treatment. So I assumed that it was absorbed. Vetlady said it
washes off. So now I'm stumped. Those products are expensive and
we do have ticks at our lake property.</FONT></DIV>
