Review: Shampoo works well - This is a very good shampoo to use.it clean the dog coat and smell's good will buy in the future!! My sons also use this will not disappoint !! No feas or ticks on dogs 😃
Review: A LOT OF FLEAS ON YOUR PET, MEANS YOU HAVE TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE TOO! - This product works very well and leaves your animal smelling fresh and clean for a couple of weeks. I've read several reviews and it seems people don't get that when your dog or cat have fleas, it's a multi treatment process: not a 1-wash and you're done. Additionally, you need to get rid of your animals bedding, get new bedding. You need to make sure your house is not infested in the areas where they frequent the most. If you don't do the above, every time you shampoo your pet, they will go back to those areas where they were laying before you washed them and they will get reinfested. When my cat had fleas years ago, that's when I got introduced to this shampoo. I actually washed my cat in the dawn dishwashing liquid first and I leave my cat in that dishwashing liquid submerged in the water darn near up to her eyeballs for at least fifteen minutes. I'm constantly combing her while she's submerged in the soapy water to get the fleas, tics, and eggs off of her. They will typically sink to the bottom of the water because the soap is so heavy on their bodies it weighs them down and they sink to the bottom. They can't swim up and jump out of it because of the weight of the soap. I then will rinse her a lot, refill renter the sink with Adams soapy shampoo darn near up to her neck again, after that Dawn bath, for about another15 minutes. Please be sure you are doing frequent combing out of their fur while they are submerged in the water to get the fleas, tics and eggs off. I'm doing this back to back. Then, because My cat had a section of the basement infested with the fleas, I literally set up a desk lamp that had a wide base (to place a weight on it so it wouldn't tip over), with a bendable neck and had it facing the floor. I would then place a wide short bowl of water with really soapy dishwashing liquid in it, under the light, and leave it there overnight. I'd do this every single day, all day and night, until the fleas wouldn't jump in the water anymore. Id also wear a pair of white sports socks up to my knees every single time you go in the area where the dog or cat may have invested. If you no longer see them jumping on your socks after you clean everything up you're good. Here were the steps I took to get rid of a flea infestation in my basement and on my cat. NOTE: i found out someone that I let stay in my house for a week visited someone's house, while they were visiting me, whose cat/ house was flea infested. 🤬 1. Literally gave my cat a double 30 minute bath. 15 minute soak in dawn blue dishwashing liquid while constantly coming with a fleet comb while your pet is still in the water. This will help to remove/loosen the fleas, tics, and eggs into the soapy water where they will pretty much sink to the bottom of the tub. 2. after bathing your pet do not put them back in the same place where the investigation was. You will need to place your cat in a infestation is eradicated. 3. Throw away your cat's stuff and buy all new stuff. 4. Buy the flea and tick pills that are hard. Grind them up and put them in your cat's food. When the ticks and fleas bite your pet, ingest their blood, and they die. This really helped to clear my cat's body of fleas as well. 5. Buy the food grade diotamatious earth and one of those little tiny accordion looking things that you put the powder in. As you squeeze it in the areas where the fleas were, the powder blows out nicely dispersed. It blows the powdery substance out far and wide in the area. 6. Every time you vacuum, make sure you suck in some diotamacious earth inside of your vacuum FIRST. Then vacuum everywhere like crazy a lot! Diotamatious Earth will kill them on the spot. It sticks into their bodies like shards of glass. Vacuum daily with this process until your issues have resolved and fleas gone. 7. PLEASE DO THE DESK-LAMP-SOAPY-BOWL AND LIGHT PROCESS ON THE FLOOR DAILY UNTIL YOU DO NOT SEE THEM JUMPING INTO THE BOWL ANYMORE. YOU WILL DUMP THIS WATER DAILY AND REDO YOU NO LONGER SEE PLEASE AND THE BOWL THE NEXT DAY. 8. IF YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF INFESTATION, EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT, WEAR TALL WHITE SPORTS SOCKS EVERY TIME YOU ENTER THE AREA THAT YOU'RE PET FREQUENTS REGULARLY. FLEAS WILL JUMP ON YOUR CLOTHES, AND YOU WILL TAKE THEM EVERY OTHER PLACE IN YOUR HOUSE WHERE YOU WALK. YOU CAN VACUUM THE FLEAS OFF OF YOUR SOCKS AS YOU LEAVE THE AREA. PLACE THOSE SOCKS IN SOAPY WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES, SCRUB THEM, RINSE THEM OUT, LET THEM DRY, AND REUSE. SORRY IF I FORGOT ANYTHING. I TRULY HOPE. THIS HELPS ANYONE.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it kill ticks**
A: I went to look on the bottle to make sure I told you correctly.  The bottle says it kills fleas, ticks, lice and "flea eggs"...there isn't too much out there that kills the flea eggs.  I don't want to sound like an advertisement for this company but this is the best shampoo I have ever used.  I volunteer at several animal shelters, train dogs professionally and have six dogs of my own.  I love the way my dogs smell after using this, the clean way the feel.  Their fur is very soft after using this.  I have two dogs that get very itchy.  This helps with that.  The down side is the last time I bought a bottle from pet smart it cost almost $20. I think that was a 12 oz bottle.  When I found a gallon of this on here for a little over $50, I bought it as fast as I could.  Also one thing else, after I wash them in this, they seem to stay cleaner longer then when I use other shampoos.  I hope I helped  you.  God Bless.

**Q: Does this shampoo have a shelf life?**
A: I've had this shampoo for a long time- my dog is small so I don't use too much at a time- it's a great shampoo!

**Q: Do I have to wear gloves when shampooing the cat with this?**
A: No. In the more than 15 years I have used this shampoo for our dogs I never wore gloves. I did, however, wash my hands thoroughly afterwards. If you have super sensitive skin though perhaps wearing gloves is probably wise. I hope this answered your question.

**Q: Will it burn or harm a dog with scratches or bites from itching (torn skin)?**
A: No. I do dog rescue and use it on dogs on bad shape. Mange, scabies, bites and open areas of skin. It has not hurt one yet and been using it for months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helped soothe my cat and dog’s irritated skin
*by K***P on October 29, 2017*

I’ve been battling a horrible flea infestation for over a month now. I bathe my cat and dog every other day with Dawn dish soap and their regular shampoos (Wahl for my dog and Furminator for my cat) and even took them to the groomers for a flea bath. I applied topical medication on each of them (Frontline for my dog and Advantage II for my cat). I’ve vacuumed, mopped, sprayed insecticide and IGR, and laundered everything almost daily, but it seems as though I’ve been fighting a losing battle. Despite everything, I would still find dozens of fleas on their bodies (immediately after their baths), and my poor pets are scratching themselves raw. I’m sure all the baths and chemicals are drying out their skin too (they certainly are for my hands!). I have to say this shampoo was a nice relief for my pets. I soaped up my pets for 5 minutes with Dawn dish soap and rinsed. Then I repeated with the Adams shampoo (5 minute lather and rinse thoroughly). The shampoo had a really nice lather. I followed directions and only used 3 tablespoons of shampoo for my 15lb dog and 2 tablespoons for my cat. I thought the volume of shampoo would not be enough but the shampoo was so thick, that it was more than sufficient. Fleas floated away with the rinse. The smell has a soft, powder scent which reminds me of the scent of the groomer’s regular shampoo. After rinsing, there was almost a greasy residue on their fur, which I’m sure is soothing for their dry skin. ***UPDATE (3 weeks later): I’ve been solely using this shampoo now, and I have been regularly giving my pets weekly baths (with a 5-minute soak). A month has passed, so I reapplied the same brand of topical anti-flea/tick medicine. My dog has had the topical on for about 1 week and my cat for only 48hours. I just gave them a third bath with the Adams shampoo and I only found about 5-6 fleas on each of them. Every week I bathe my pets, the water runs red from all the flea dirt on them, but this time the water was clear! There has been minimal itching and scratching during the week, so I know the shampoo is helping. An added benefit is that their coats look so much healthier and softer. My white dog’s coat is bright and white. The powder smell lasts through the week too, so they continue smelling nice, well past the bath. I cut down vacuuming and laundering their bedding to 1x/week because the cleaning has been overwhelming. The temperature has dropped this week to below freezing and the gas heat has been on. I know humidity impacts the growth of fleas, so I’m not sure if one particular thing or the combination of everything has been making the difference, but what matters is that the flea count is dwindling...finally! I would highly recommend this shampoo, but I suggest using gloves because it can be very drying on the hands. Very few products are both cat and dog friendly too, so that is an added benefit when you have both. ***UPDATE (4 months later): So fleas are officially gone! I believe they've been gone since late December/early January. After the last update, I gradually reduced the baths to every other week and kept my pets updated on their monthly flea/tick medication. As I said before, I'm not sure what exactly did the trick but I believe this shampoo was a major contributor to the solution! I actually stocked up on this shampoo because my husband and I love it so much! ***UPDATE (7 months later): It’s been well past the scourge of fleas in our home (THANK GOODNESS), but I just wanted to rave about this product some more. I bathed my my long-haired Persian cat with this shampoo recently and he still smells great- weeks later! Also, I love how it conditions his fur. I didn’t even use conditioner and his fur is full, soft, and mat free!
