Important Information

Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

Repeat as necessary. In order to help reduce the occurrence of fleas and ticks, this product is best used year-round. For Dogs 12 Weeks or Older: Wet entire coat. Shake product well before use. Apply shampoo and lather. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose and genitals. Massage thoroughly into dog’s coat. Be sure to treat hard-to-reach areas such as between toes.

I loved that as soon as I lathered my dog up with the shampoo I started seeing them come to the top of his fur and died way before I started a 7 minute timer. My only problem was the shampoo is a little too harsh on my dog skin it stripped away his natural oils making his skin very irritated and itchy after I properly rinsed and dried him I had to rinse him off again with cool water he is ok now. So yes I do recommend this shampoo just wish it wasn’t as harsh on his skin but then again I’m gonna see if the same thing happens after 5 minutes. But after use I would recommend rinsing your dog with cool water afterwards

Smells good

It didn't do as well as I had hoped for her considering how aggressive I've been to treat her, she's a puppy who came to us with a flea infestation from being outside

It didn't do as well as I had hoped for her considering how aggressive I've been to treat her, she's a puppy who came to us with a flea infestation from being outside. This shampoo smells great but did nothing to deter fleas. I did as instructed and while it killed some fleas there wasn't much difference

It's very strong smelling, it did work during bath but still had fleas afterwards even after several baths in it.

Didn't work at all.

Neither the shampoo, home/dog spray, or the yard spray worked. Big let down seeing none of it worked after risking peppermint poisoning my little buddy.

although my little dog was on a flea and tick preventative he would still get fleas and they wouldnt die until they bit him :( . I was looking for something that would kill them before they bit him and repel them. Folks...this is it! I applied the shampoo and massaged it into his fur for about 10 minutes. As i was rinsing him i could see a few dead fleas. I thoroughly searched him afterwards and he was completely flea free. Have not seen any on him since.

Lathers well, Rinses easily

Ox actually sat down while I lathered him up, shampooed and rinsed him. (He usually makes me chase him)

Washed dog several times using this shampoo, it did not work. Left it on him and massaged all over him for over 10 mins before rinsing. He still has fleas. Don’t waste your money. Washed cat once in it. Left it on and massaged into fur/skin. He still has fleas. Cat does not like water or baths, so was not easy. As I said, don’t waste your money.
