My dog needs Taktic dip. How long to leave it on and then bathe?

The key to using the medicated shampoo is contact time. After lathering, the shampoo needs 10-15 minutes of contact time with the skin/coat before rinsing. The Dechra brand is fine. When there is an active skin issue bathing should be twice a week with using the spray or mousse in between. Once looking better, you can decrease frequency of the products.

I would recommend either applying directly to the dog or your hands first. Most medicated shampoos I would recommend leaving on for 10 minutes and than washing off. They often do not lather like people shampoo does. Also I would recommend towel drying because heat from a hair dryer can deactivate the medications.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The Bravecto will not get rid of the demodex that quickly. I tell clients it will likely take 4-8 weeks. The lyme sulfur dip works differently than the Bravecto. I would try to wait another 2 weeks as long as Evie's skin isn't getting worse. If by 4 weeks there is no improvement I would recheck with your Vet before starting a new product. I hope this helps and I wish Evie the best!

Since a bath wets the skin significantly and also softens it, I suggest you wait a few hours until your dog is completely dry , ie has a dry hair coat as well as completely dry skin. Once the skin is dry there should be no problem with application of the tick and flea treatment.

This product works by being slowly absorbed into the skin and spreading throughout the body. You can give a bath a week after application, but avoid long periods (10 minutes or more) of having him immersed in water. I hope that helps and all is well with Oberin.

Talk to your veterinarian about using Ivermectin or Bravecto. These are much safer than the Mitaban dip . Lyme sulfur dip is more successful for fungal infections like ringworm. I would not recommend that. Mitaban dips need to be repeated many times (usually 6 or more) every 2 weeks to be successful. The Bravecto tablet is easy and very successful.

Definitely remove the ticks from Max's body, and make sure you get all parts of the tick. I will put a link below on how to remove ticks from a dog's body. Do not wash him until the spray has been on him for at least 48-72 hours. Best of luck. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/getting_ticks_off_dog.html
