Fleas & Ticks Shampoo

Advise: Oral flea control is the most effective way to protect your dog from fleas and ticks, if your puppy can chew and take medicine. Overdose Risk: Both flea shampoos and oral flea treatments contain insecticides. Applying them too close together can lead to an overdose, which may cause toxicity in dogs. Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive drooling, lethargy, and in severe cases, seizures. Caution: The shampoos really only get rid of what is on your dog. When they dry, new fleas will just jump right back on. Flea and Tick Shampoo is for Dogs and Puppies kills existing fleas and ticks and prevents new infestations on the dog’s skin for up to two weeks. This shampoo also kills flea eggs for up to a month after use. For extra protection, this shampoo drives away mosquitoes for up to two weeks. For fleas and ticks to survive, they must bite their host and then feed on the blood. You may need to give your dog a flea bath as often as every two weeks, as the shampoo ingredients would not last as long as an oral medication. Tick bites can cause infection, abscesses, paralysis, and even death.
