Does pine tar work on dogs too?
Pine tar soap definitely does not help kill or prevent fleas attacking your dog. The best flea treatments/preventions are monthly 'spot on' treatments such as Frontline, Advantage and Revolution which you can get from your pet shop or vet. Dogs have a different acidity to their skin than we do, so human soaps and shampoos can disrupt the natural state of their skin leading to dryness and itchiness. Specialised dog shampoo should always be used - never use human brands.

No. But if you have it as an outside dog, you could spray water on her if she gets hot. Also, you should only wash a dog when it needs washing because over washing a dog can remove the natural oils from the skin, causing the dog's skin to be dry and scaly.
