We have a dog who is sensitive to any thing we have tried for fleas and ticks. The last time, she had such a bad reaction....we had to rush her to the vet because she had a horrible rash all over her body, scratching, shaking, panting. It took a shot to counter act the ingredients and then Benedryl. It took a long time for her skin to clear! We were told to not use any thing on her...not even a shampoo. Thankfully, we have not had a flea problem and only a few ticks since her bad reaction. The vet told us if there are ever any symptoms after an application of flea/tick medication, to immediately shampoo them!
