Does this shampoo remove fleas? I have 2 dogs and both are extremely itchy. I could not figure out why for weeks but I found a flea today on one and am worried.

Don't think it is for fleas. We bought it for our Dog to help him not inch because of allergies.

No. This is for skin problems. It was really good at removing ringworm from my two kittens. You will need a special shampoo for fleas. Or a prescription I assume.

This being one of the only shampoos that my little guy can use, I have used this for several years now and I have shared the bottle with a female friend who has used this on her cats for an external treatment of skin problems and she had great results with her cats just as it did for my Chihuahua just be sure that you do not allow the animal to lick the product off it's skin while bathing. Also, you must leave on for at least 10 minutes and bathe once a week until their skin clears up for the full benefit of this product. So in answer to your question, yes, it can be used on felines as well as dogs. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

Yes, if my dogs have irritation on the head and face I do, but very carefully. Actually with repeated use my dogs are in fantastic shape. I started with one bath a week for three weeks and now they each get one bath a month with this shampoo, I have the pads and if they have any itch I swab the area with the pad, face too. No shots ,no pills, I love this product.

Tropical scented????? Well that's all in the 'nose' of the one doing the smelling! The shampoo has a nice pleasant scent..not too strong..but will help enhance the experience of washing a dirty dog with the normal 'doggie' oder that comes with the experience! if you're struggling so much with an oder...try breathing in through your mouth and breathing out through your nose!

I have been using this shampoo for my 5 pounder chihuahua. I bathed her 3-4 times a week. She had severe demodex mange. First bottle lasted about 2 months. I still bathe her with this shampoo (on 2nd bottle now) but now only 2x a week since her mange is almost completely gone. This shampoo is the bomb! Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I would look for pure essential oils, and carrier oils, high in B's. Fleas hate B. I've used Infusium shampoo on my dogs, and noted how the fleas were quicker to jump off the skin. If I were to go natural, I'd choose a decent carrier oil, and add some Tea Tree, and perhaps another compatible/suitable essential, and massage it into the skin, and fur, after shampooing my dog, massaging it around for a few minutes, and then doing a final rinse. There's plenty of information available online to come up with a proper solution, and please remember to do so. Please never take another's word as the solution, without informing yourself first. Good luck!

Honestly cannot answer this as our dog did not have fleas, just ticks. Once I applied it to our dog, within hours she went outside and to play with the kids and came back without any ticks.

Hi Happy buyer, Frontline didn't kill the fleas on my dogs at all. The vet said the strand of fleas in Florida where I live are immune to Frontline. I'm switching to Advantage.

This does not make sense- it says on the description a shampoo and then on the bottle says leave in no rinse de-matt spray-- which is it???I wonder if it is a shampoo like stated and people are leaving it on their dogs?--please advise

I think it lathered wonderfully, my Yorkie was also easy to rinse out also! Great shampoo!!

Hi Julie! I used it for over a month and it didn't seem to do anything for fleas. Maybe it will work for you, I have heard that it works for other people's pets.

If the dog is having allergic reactions, then you can shampoo as much as needed. I have read that its ok to give dogs with skin allergies more frequent baths, because it helps.

Hi Valerie. Whether this shampoo will work for your dog depends on why he has an odor. If he has a bacterial or yeast skin infection, perhaps regular use of the shampoo and conditioner will help. But if he has an odor from an anal gland problem or cancer, it may not be the answer. I would try a different vet for a fresh look and opinion. Sorry, I can't be more helpful. The shampoo really does smell wonderful.

In all honesty, Kathy, I looked at all of the reviews on precor and thought for sure that it would work, and I have to tell you that i was not pleased at all. It worked for 1 week and they were back. I wouldn't waste my money on either. Instead I would have professionals come in and spray their chemicals. It may be more expensive but very well worth it in the long run. P.S. I have also used frontline plus on my animals and it just does not work. Fleas are becoming very hard to get rid of and are growing more and more immune to the treatments we use. Good luck.

It depends on your dog. My breed is supposed to have a somewhat harsh, stand off coat, so I do not use conditioner on it. I have not had any problems with this shampoo drying out either his coat or his skin.

I wouldn't add conditioner if you are new to using this. Give this a chance to work on its own. Im assuming your dog has skin problems. Let the problems go away and then add conditioner. This shampoo doesn't dry out my dog's fur or skin.
