Why does my dog always smell off after flea treatment?

Every month, without fail. He smells musky (?) for the 2/3 following having advocate flea and worm treatment. The other dog is fine, doesn't smell at all with it.

Fed up of my house smelling so bad after fleaing.

Get a Soresto collar from the vets, they stave off fleas and ticks for 8 months. We couldn't get through summer without it!

CowParsleyNettle do you still find ticks on your dog with the collar? I put one on my dog around 2-3 months ago and I pulled two ticks off him already today :(

Sorry OP didn't mean to derail your thread. I use advocate and don't notice a musty smell but for about 3-4 days he just has that horrible chemical smell which is yuk Sad

It's the flea treatment that smells. Do you put it all in one spot or stagger it.
