You can pet the dog where the topical isn't applied. They say 48-72 hours before bathing after application depending on which flea and tick stuff you usem. We use the one in the blue applictor package (frontline I think???) when I read the instructions it didn't warn about keeping your hands off or call disease control if you get it on ya. I would just not pet directly on the applied spots until it looks to be dry. (few hours). Belly rubs are just as good :)

How long do you have to wait to apply a different flea medicine on my cats and dogs the one I was using doesn't seem to be working anymore?
The best treatment for flea & tick prevention is a topical once a month medication such as Frontline Plus or Advantix II. There are many once a month topical medications available out there that will keep the fleas and ticks off of your dog but only for a month, then you need to reapply it. Make sure you get preventatives that are for cats only and ones for dogs only. Check with your Veterinarian if you have any questions. Get the type that won't wash off with a bath or in the rain.
Is it okay to give a dog flea medication if you just bathed them with flea shampoo?
If you put it on him prior to the bath, not likely. Read the label. Some are water proof, some are not. Give your dog a bath, wait until he's dry and then apply the flea treatment. I have been told to wait till the next day to put it on after a bath... Apparently, this is because the flea meds are released through the dogs oil glands, and you wash the oil away when you bathe your dog. I have also noticed that, even though it is water proof, it's not always soap proof... some of them seem to be less effective if you give your dog a bath, say, halfway or so through the month. Someone once suggested "non-detergent" soap, but I have yet to find such a thing... I usually just give him a hose down if he's that dirty, or spot wash him, avoiding the application sites as much as possible.
