Veterinary Formula Flea and Tick Shampoo is formulated with Pyrethrum, a natural insecticide, to immediately kill and control fleas and ticks. Made with Aloe Vera and Lanolin, it soothes irritations from flea and tick bites, while also gently cleansing and exfoliating your pet’s skin and coat. Pyrethrum, made from a flower, is the active ingredient in our 16 oz. bottle of Flea and Tick Dog and Cat Shampoo. Pet parents should look for droppings/flea dirt in the dog’s coat, allergic dermatitis, excessive scratching, licking or biting at skin, hair loss, tapeworms, and pale gums from flea and tick bites. This Flea and Tick Shampoo is paraben and soap-free. It contains no harsh soaps or damaging detergents, only naturally derived cleansers that are pH balanced for your pet’s skin. For best results, follow the instructions on the product packaging carefully. Wear rubber gloves when applying Flea and Tick Shampoo for dogs and cats. When shampooing your dog, avoid eyes. Use a cloth or sponge to shampoo around your dog’s eyes. Thoroughly wet the entire coat with warm water and then apply enough shampoo to make a lather and work thoroughly into the coat. For maximum control, allow the lather to remain in contact with the skin for five to ten minutes before rinsing. Do not reapply the product for 7 days. Flea and Tick shampoo is safe for dogs, cats, ferrets, and horses 12 weeks and older. We know that your dogs and cats are more than just pets - they are part of the family - so Veterinary Formula Clinical Care develops premium products that pet parents can actually afford. Your pet will be free of fleas and ticks, smell great and have a soft, shiny, and lustrous coat – making you both happy and able to focus on more important things like treats, games, and snuggles.

Title: Effective, Gentle, and Great for Both Cats and Dogs!
Review: The Veterinary Formula Flea and Tick Shampoo is an excellent solution for keeping my pets flea- and tick-free. It works quickly and effectively, killing fleas and ticks while also cleaning my pet's coat. After just one wash, I noticed a significant reduction in fleas, and the treatment lasts for a good while.Despite its strong effectiveness, the shampoo is gentle on my pet’s skin, which is great since my dog and cat both have sensitive skin. The 16 oz bottle offers plenty of product for multiple uses, and the scent is pleasant without being overwhelming.Overall, this flea and tick shampoo is a must-have for pet owners who want an affordable, effective, and gentle way to protect their pets from pests. It’s great for both dogs and cats, making it a versatile choice for multi-pet households.

Title: Mild citrus smell, lathers great, effective on killing fleas and not the budget! My grail shampoo!
Review: I’m almost embarrassed that I had to order this. I had a slight flea infestation thanks to “Le Dog”. In 30 years of dog & cat ownership I have never had to deal with fleas and ticks. Fast forward to 2023, I’m now living adjacent to a dense wooded area. Stupid me, I thought those expensive monthly chew tablets prescribed by the vet for fleas & ticks took care of just that, fleas and ticks. As they say, ‘it’s complicated’! As a pet owner, I feel like I’ve let them down. Believe it or not, I never saw a flea on my dog, it was found on the indoor cat that never goes outside! My dog is a dachshund/beagle mix so he has a smooth, very dense, tight double undercoat of brown black fur to hide in, but the cat… he has a fine coat of light ginger colored fur so it couldn’t hide and got caught ‘sneaking’ about.Long story short, after a quick call to the vet, all the pets needed capstar administered which would kill fleas immediately BUT not the eggs. Unfortunately, we are talking about giving reluctant 20lb male cats a pill they would rather not have. With one dog and 4 cats in tow we headed to the vet to have the ‘flea killer’ pill administered. Meanwhile, pest control came to bomb the house & spray the yard while on our little day trip to the vet. The next step was washing/sanitizing all beddings & linen and vacuuming the floors with the dog bath last. Since I was already familiar with the Veterinary Formula product line and it being paraben free and no skin reactions on the dog, I ordered their Flea & Tick shampoo. The 16oz bottle guarantees l’ll get more than a couple of baths out of it. I also needed to strike a balance of a reliable brand that was effective in killing fleas, was not harmful or irritate my dog’s sensitivities, and was affordable. This was it. I needed it to kill any adult stragglers, immature fleas or newly hatched fleas that the pill did not. My first “sniff” impression is the shampoo does NOT have a strong chemical odor, but more of a mild citrusy scent (better than what I was expecting). It does a great job of lathering up making it easy to work into the undercoat and reach any fleas living there. There was no skin irritation, burning, or allergy to using the shampoo and it left no residue. It felt more like a sudsy conditioner. I waited closer to 8 minutes before rinsing out the shampoo. That stuff is fantastic! Oh-kay, he didn’t smell as sweet as his oatmeal shampoo BUT… he had “salon soft” and silky fur! It’s actually better than the conditioner I have been using. As for fleas? I may have seen a spec or two in the bathtub. In all likelihood, the dog was used as a flea taxi into the house & cats. Up until now, the indoor cats were not on any flea prevention, but that has changed as well as getting flea combed. As they say, ‘where there is one, there is many’. While the shampoo was effective in killing & removing current fleas on Lucky Lou, it had to be used in conjunction with the other flea prevention treatments above to get ahead of the flea-eggs crazy life-cycle. A second flea bath was given 10 days out as a precaution. Did you know one flea can lay 50 eggs? Worse, one female flea in 60 days can leave you with 20,000 if not treated. -The constant spray, wash, vacuum, of carpet, bedding & linens and the once monthly flea oral & topical treatments now has house & pets “flea-free” for 82 days! I’m also pretty sure the cooler weather has helped to control the yard population as well as planting plenty of mint about. Overall, 5 stars! Neither dog nor cats have fleas! This is my grail of flea shampoo!

Title: Works!
Review: After using Amazon-branded flea and tick treatment, both of my dogs got fleas a week later. I ordered this stuff immediately after noticing the first flea fall off of one dog. What else can I say but, this stuff works! The fleas started falling off in the shower pretty much right on first contact with the shampoo. It lathers up nicely and smells great. Here we are almost a week after their baths and they are both still flea-free! They still have some residual itchiness, but that’s not the shampoo’s fault. If your pup has fleas, this is a great option. It works and it works well.

Title: SHAMPOO 5 💫/SPRAY 3 💫
Review: My dog has picked up fleas from either the grass or neighboring dogs,I’m so irritated!! There aren’t many so I'm trying to take care of the problem before it gets out of hand. One of my dogs are all white so it’s very easy to see them slithering through him. With good lighting I sprayed this on a flea and I had to drown it in order for the flea to stop moving. I picked it out of his coat and laid it on a white paper towel to see if it was dead,it was. Same process with a few more fleas and same result! I don’t like that I have to spray so much for it to work,but yes it works. Doesn’t seem to irritate the skin so I’ll keep using to get my moneys worth. I gave it 3 stars because of the amount I have to use. Update: I’ve been redirected back to this review where I purchased the spray,this review update is specifically for the flea shampoo. As far as the flea shampoo goes it gets 5 STARS!!!!!! It definitely works! I followed the directions and it took some patience,but there’s not one flea on either of my dogs. A good lather I believe is very necessary. Neither of my dogs had an infestation,but that could’ve easily changed. I bought this based off of reviews and I’m very happy! As an end result I saw dead fleas floating in the tub,there were some to be picked off of their fur and some were caught in the flea comb. There were none living after their baths and good rinse offs to make sure all of the shampoo was gone! Highly recommend the shampoo and the spray is okay too,just used more than I’d expect….especially for a very minor flea issue.

Title: My favorite to use on my pets!
Review: This shampoo is effective and you can tell it is so soothing to your animals. My poor cat had such a bad allergic reaction to fleas, and along with his medication and treating our home we used this. You could see the relief in his eyes while he sat with it on his fur before rinsing, regardless of being in the water and mad about it lol. I’m hoping this will help with the hair loss he experienced during this outbreak as well, will update my review. This smells great and doesn’t leave an oily residue. The shine of the coat and softness is 10/10!

Title: Worked very well
Review: Have a kitten that infected my other two, 4 year old cats. Tried just treating with fipronil (active ingredient in flea drops) and they kept itching. Gave them all a bath this evening and no more itching. Great product!! Also smells good for a flea shampoo.

Title: Didn't really work that well
Review: Yes, it did decrease the fleas. Did it rid them? No. The smell is ok. The feeling of the fur is pretty soft after. No hair loss for my collie.
