NO!! You cannot wash the dog within 24 hours before OR after you use the topical treatments, like Revolution or Frontline. The topicals work by spreading across the dog's body with the natural oil in the dog's skin. If you wash the dog, you remove those natural oils and the liquid will not spread evenly and cover completely.

My bad...no need to shout...we use the pill, but I could have sworn that when I used the drops my vet told me to guard them right after the bath.
