Effective Dog shampoo  

i used all the shampoos there is for my dog, but none is really quite effective. What i use is the product called FRONTLINE, it comes in spray and small plastic tubes. It is very good and effective.

hi, I am really skeptical in using chemicals on my pug. She has bulging eyes, and i am scared that the shampoo for tick will harm her eyes. Thus, I use the biological way. Hee. I read from a website, it says mix a small amount of minced garlic to your pet's food. The ticks/ fleas don't like blood smelling like garlic. I don't know why, but it actually worked! But then there are still a few remaining on my pug's body, but not as much as before.in fact, much much better now.

I am not sure that there is a shampoo that can do all that. Shampoos are really to clean the skin and fur and stop your dog from smelling. Bathing a dog can be hard as most do not like it and they need to be trained to get used to it.

The only treatment that I know for fleas and ticks are frontline and there is another one I cannot remember the name of but it is only bought from a vet and it does heart worm as well as fleas.

You need to know if you have paralysis ticks in your area as well as many treatments will prevent ticks but not paralysis ticks. I found that out when my dog died last year from a paralysis tick. We have them in Australia but I am not sure about your part of the world.

You can check with a vet they would know.

You can bathe the dog in an oatmeal shampoo to soothe the skin, and then apply frontline plus- you have to apply the frontline 2 days before or after a bath though.

I personally use brewers yeast & garlic supplements on my dogs- they're chewable tablets that they get every day. I originally bought them to help with growing coat on one of my dogs many years ago (he'd lost hair from fleas), and realized that he was the only dog I had with no fleas. So, I put all of my dogs on the supplement, and haven't had a flea problem in many years, and all my boys have beautiful coats.

The supplements are cheap, easy to give (my dogs love them) and it's not a chemical. I pay $30 for 4,000 tablets, and they get one per 10 pounds of weight (they do make them for larger dogs too).
