I have had several furkids over my lifetime and whenever we see a flea I use "Pert". I took in a stray cat, wicked loaded with fleas. We shampood her and found a handfull floating in the bathwater. For some reason this stuff works like nitro on fleas. The fleas just fall off. Our [COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]great [COLOR=green !important]dane[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] never has fleas or any skin reaction either, so when our new yorkie came with fleas (free with purchase) we dipped (washed) her right away lol, she's flea free and no skin problem has been noticed. Our momma cat (indoor/outdoor) gets dipped when/if we see any on her and her baby kittens will as well if necessary. We've also put a squeeze or two in a sprayer that attaches to the hose and sprayed the yard but that only happened once when we had several animals over at one time (doggie party). Also a tiny amount in your carpet cleaner doesn't hurt either. Usually all of the fleas get knocked out on the first wash but fleas will hide near the eyes & nose to get away from the pert so take your time and you shouldn't have a problem. If anyone else has tried this shampoo let me know how it worked for you, people think I'm crazy cause of the ph blah blah blah but I've never had a problem and we don't have fleas. lol |
Well, that sure is of interest, thank you! I hope I never need to, but will try this next time we encounter fleas. Dawn dish soap works too, but Pert HAS to be better on their skin. I used to use it on my hair when I was a kid
