Flea & Tick Liquid Shampoo 12 oz

Wondercide Flea & Tick Shampoo has been a great find for my pets. It’s gentle enough for both dogs and cats, yet still effective at helping with fleas and ticks. I love that it’s plant-based and made with natural essential oils, so I feel better using it regularly without harsh chemicals. The shampoo lathers well and rinses out easily, leaving my pet’s coat soft, clean, and shiny. The scent is fresh and natural—not overpowering—and it doesn’t irritate my pets’ skin at all. I’ve noticed less scratching after baths, which tells me it’s doing its job.

This stuff works well for killing the adult fleas on the dog. I like the later, the smell, and thats its nit full if chemicals since my dogs will probably be getting a bath every 2 weeks until i kniw were in the clear. If you have fleas though, you will have to first get some prescription anti flea amd tick chewables such as nexgard for example so any new fleas will die after bitting the dog. Avoid potential dangerous chemical topicals like hartz or flea collars especiallyif you have multiple digs, one dog might bite the other dogs collar while playing and get poisoned.. comb the dogs daily or every other day with a flea comb and drown fleas in hot dawn dish soapy water. vacuum every day or every other day, vacuum all the high traffic areas your pet visits, all the way to the walls, move things out of the way, this will cut down on the eggs, larvae, and pupae in the environment. Get a handheld steam cleaner, steam clean the pet toys, the pet bed, upholstery and the carpets, this will KILL pupae and eggs. Wash all your bedding too even if you dont let dogs on your bed. Use diatomaceous earth in your crawl spaces, under couches, in the basement, on hard wood floors, let it sit and get in the cracks because they will hide in there, vacuum it up in 48 hours (hell just leave it in your crawlspace forever). Banish your pets from bedrooms to make cleaning easier since you'll only have to focus daily on the areas the dog frequents while cleaning closed rooms at least once a week. Fleas represent only 5% of an infestation, the rest are eggs, larvae, and the pupae. You might kill all the fleas with a bath but in one month, they might pop right back up if you didnt clean the environment well enough. You can use diatomaceous earth on your lawn too but using nematodes is way better, they eat up all the larvae. This shampoo is only one piece of the anti flea puzzle. Fleas are a 3 month problem. You can get a handle on the problem in a week or 2 and feel like you beat them but continue to vacuum and steam clean every other day, continue to set up flea traps, and wash bedding frequently. Dont let up for 3 months but make sure you give yourself a break day every few days to just rest and monitor and if you dont see any signs of them after 3 months, you can finally relax. It sicks that over the counter stuff like frontline has become less and less effective and some harsh chemical products can harm your pets, your kids, or you. the best methods now are prescription grade stuff and things that physically damage the fleas like diatomaceous earth, the hot water/steam, citrus, certain essential oils, dawn dish soap, salt, and straight up vacuuming them up and getting them out of the area. Do not think your over fleas after 1 bath. They will be back and that doesnt mean this awesome product didnt work. Its just how fleas operate so you have to wage war. So keep up the fight, you can do it. You dont need to bug bomb your house, you can do it with natural things, $45 prescription flea chewables and most importantly, consistency.

I am going to be 100 percent honest. I totally doubted this product. Well I was wrong!!!! I have never had flea issues. I have lived on the same property for 10 years and never had an issue. We always make sure the grass is kept short, bushes are cut back etc. Well that has all changed. We rent and the property was sold. Needless to say, the property is not kept up like it use to be. Plus there are a lot more deer and other animals around because of the amount of building going on in my area. So last week one of my dogs started scratching really bad. They both have seasonal allergies, one worse than the other. I figured it wasn't anything major. Well on my white pitbull, I noticed something crawling on him. Naturally I freaked out!!!! It was a flea!!!! Now we all know that where there is one, there are more!!!! I sprayed them with numerous other products even horse fly spray ( which was labeled that it kills fleas on dogs) and nothing. Well Prime Day rolls around and I see that Wondercide is on sale. I know nothing about it. I start reading the reviews and people say it works. Riiiggghht... So I start thinking to myself. It is all natural and is actually going to work?! Ok I will bite because I am desperate!! So I ordered the peppermint one. I get my order the next day ( Go Amazon!!) And decide I am going to give both dogs a bath. I put the first dog in the tub and start running water over him. I don't really see anything. Keep running water over him and all of a sudden I see a flea. Now I know it is game time. I open the shampoo and start scrubbing. I see fleas starting to fall off my dog. Now I'm freaking out but excited. I start thinking I am going to win this battle!!!!! I continue to add more shampoo and keep scrubbing. More fleas are falling off, some dead, some alive, and some seem stunned. I keep scrubbing. I let the shampoo sit on my dog for awhile and then rinsed him off. He is not itching at all. I dried him off and he is sleeping peacefully. On to the next dog Now!! My white pitbull is up next. I put him in the tub and start rinsing him like I did the other dog. Nothing!!! All of a sudden a flea falls off into the water. So I continue to rinse him and there are more fleas. I shut the water and start scrubbing him with the shampoo. All of a sudden there are fleas coming off him like they are abandoning ship. Some alive, some dead, some running up his head onto his eyelids. This totally freaked me out. I keep scrubbing and let the shampoo sit. I start rinsing him off and a bunch of dead fleas start falling off of him with every rinse. It was totally gross!!!! I dry him off and he is sleeping as well. I clean the bathroom, take a shower and see a flea jump on the bathroom floor!!!! One escaped!!! I run inside grab my cellphone and order the peppermint spray for dogs also!!!! I will post that review under that product. Before I do that I want to add a few things.... When you are rinsing/ wetting your dog down initially. Do it well and take your time. When washing your dog with the shampoo. Scrub him really well with your finger tips. Just keep scrubbing and scrubbing. If you have to use more shampoo use more. The shampoo seemed to work better with the initial wash. When I tried to wash my white dog a second time the shampoo didn't seem to get into his coat as well. His coat texture and length is different than my other dog, so that might be why. My advice pull up a chair scrub and let the shampoo sit. It works!! Now were there still a few fleas on the dogs. I don't think so, but after they napped. They needed to go outside. I had just placed the order for the spray for them just in case bc there was a run away flea. Remember.... Well good thing I did!!!! Because after walking them I saw a damn flea!!!!!
