Well, I work for a Vet and am in school, and what the doctor I work for tells 
all of his clients is any shampoo is okay as long as it is NOT flea shampoo 
and- you have to wait at least 3 days before and 3 days after a bath before 
you apply the topical because it works from the oils in the skin. I have 
asked our sales reps and they say that is okay. Bathing washes off these 
oils. So you also cannot bathe frequently either. I use the frontline and 
bathe every other week. (With regular, non flea shampoo) and it works fine. 
The sentinel and program does not work on my dogs, but different products 
work differently on different animals.
