Yes and no, it would probably protect the dog from fleas but it is a lot weaker as a dog is able to take stronger stuff. Its like giving a cat dog food its far too strong for cats, a dog can take cat food.

What is a good flea shampoo for small dogs?

Shampoos with oatmeal. Most good pet stores carry this product or you can go to any "Nature's Store" and get it. It calms the skin (many small dogs can have sensitive skin) and also makes the fur soft and easier to manage. Be sure to rinse well so no suds are left on the dog. If you have a white dog (I own a Bichon Frise) try staying away from fur whitening products (makes the hair whiter.) This will irritate the dogs skin and it simply isn't worth it. I like Adams Flea and Tick shampoo. I have yet to find a shampoo that is as good as adams. I have never heard of or experienced any dog having adverse skin reactions to it (like drying the skin out), but if dry skin is common in your breed, then i would suggest adding Fish Oil or Linatone to the dogs food. Answer by libelulaCedar oil not only will kill the fleas, but leaves a fragance on your dog that everybody will love. I found a shampoo also with base of cedar oil because cedar oil kills all kinds of arthropods (likes fleas, mites, lice) and it also will the hair of your dog shiny and clean. Find either a spray or shampoo with cedar oil over the internet.
