Fleas and ticks are not only itching for us but also un-pleasant for all pet parents. There are various methods to remove fleas from your pet. You can go with home remedies to temporarily kill the pest but as I said that it is temporary. Fleas will most probably find their way back to your pet. You can also use tablets prescribed by a vet, but if it is the first time you see fleas on your dog, I would suggest you choose a better flea shampoo for your dog.

3. Veterinary Formula Clinical Care
Third, on our list is Veterinary Formula Clinical Care which you can use on both cats and dogs. It contains a natural insecticide that kills both fleas and ticks. The pesticide plays its role in keeping insects off from your pet, and the balanced pH treatment ensures that it is safe for your dog. Not only that, but the flea shampoo is also soap-free, which provides maximum protection.
For all other shampoos, I would recommend you to apply them at least 2-3 times per week for better results. But this shampoo has an active formula, so you need to apply it once a week. Further process of applying a flea control shampoo is explained in the frequently asked questions. However, use warm water with this shampoo to get better and effective results.

FAQs about Dog Flea Shampoo?
You may have a few questions about flea shampoo. I have already answered the most common ones below
How many times should I use the Shampoo?
Flea shampoo is not used one time. You have to use it several times to see its effect. At the first time, it kills adult fleas. Larvae of fleas are very resistant, so you have to apply the shampoo periodically with every bath, and your dog will get rid of fleas.
Why is Shampoo showing no results?
Try changing shampoo with any other brand. See a vet if they fleas are there even after 5-6 applications of dog flea shampoo.
How to use a Flea Shampoo?
It is used just like a usual shampoo. Start applying from behind ears to back and up to the tail. Also, let the lather remain 5-10 minutes so it can kill all the fleas. After that you can was the fur with water.
Also, not to forget, after using any of these shampoos rinse the skin of your dog entirely and try to keep him outside the living area for 5-6 hours. Most of the dead ticks and fleas will be falling, and you would never want those dead fleas and ticks to die in your living area.
