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.

Does hartz flea and tick drops work?

Yes the small tubes that you apply to a dogs back work but you have to make sure that you only get the one that fits your dogs weight. They have a type of poison in them that is safe only for certain size dogs. If you are not sure weight yourself first without your dog the weight yourself with it and subtract to find it's weight. It is safe to use if you are careful but if you are not you can kill an animal. If you have a puppy make sure you read the label before you purchase anything. Some soaps and medicines can not be used on puppies so read before you buy. Most flea shampoo's are dangerous for puppies. Good luck and please love your dog.

Will human shampoo make a dog go blind?

Hugely unlikely under any form of reasonable use. But it's not the best thing for the task. Human shampoo is not good for dogs as the Ph is different in the shampoo & not good for the dog's coat. Purchase a good doggie shampoo from your local Pet shop or Feed store or your Veterinarian. Put a little vaseline in your dog's eyes to protect them from the soap. It depends on how the shampoo is because a little strong shampoos burn your eyes and very strong shampoos may make the dogs blind


What is the best dog shampoo for fleas and ticks?

There is no "best" but there are effective ways to remove fleas on dogs. One is bathing him in dog shampoo and a dish soap. Frontline is good but please note that you should not use it indefinitely because it can make your pet sick. Now that the fleas are gone, there are still chances that fleas will return. It's because there are still "FLEA EGGS" lying around the house. They often fall off on your dog and find their way back into your pet.


Can you use Ajax to kill fleas on dogs?

Please do not use Ajax on your dog to kill fleas. That is way too harsh for your dog's skin & might cause more problems. You can purchase some flea & tick dog shampoo pretty cheap at a pet shop or feed store, etc. Give your dog a bath using the flea shampoo, be sure to let the shampoo sit on the dog for about 5 minutes or longer. You could also use a good flea spray to get rid of the fleas. Make sure it is made for dogs. Frontline flea spray is a good one. The best thing to use is the once a month topical flea & tick protectants. You just put the amount measured out directly onto your dog's skin and it lasts for a month. It will kill & prevent fleas, ticks, mites, etc. from getting on your dog. Just be sure to use it once a month. You can also find these in the pet store or feed stores. I personally like Frontline Plus or K9 Advantix II but you can find cheaper ones too out there. Just make sure they don't wash off in a rain storm or a bath, it will tell you that on the label.
