Best Answer

These shampoos are formulated to kill different insects, and to be safe for very different species. Flea shampoos, though rarely needed anymore since infestation can be prevented/controlled with topicals (e.g., Advantage, Frontline, etc.), are designed to be safe for use on dogs and cats of at least a certain age. Lice shampoos are formulated to be safe for use on humans.

Fleas have a very hard, black exoskeleton. They can also jump very far. They prefer to live on animals.

Lice are lighter in color, a little harder to see, can't jump and prefer to live on human hair.
