Is this flea shampoo okay? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

It's called Adams Plus Flea & Tick shampoo. It's in a blue bottle. I was going to get Frontline plus but my bf said they didnt have it in petco so he got this shampoo. I haven't used it yet and want to know if its safe to use on little dogs cause on the warning label it says not to come in contact with your skin and only put a tiny amount or its dangerous...does anyone know?

Hm, I don't know anything about the particular brand. I've heard stories that some of
these shampoos aren't the safest, since they do use chemicals, but I've never heard of
any problems personally. I wouldn't think they are as reliable as a tick & flea medicine
such as Frontline though.

I use Tropiclean Neem Shampoo for my babies. It's all we use in the groom shop (we're an all green [natural] doggie spa) and it truly works wonders! I think I may have seen it at PetCo or PetSmart before. It smells wonderful, creates a beautiful shine on their coat, degreases and cleans like nothing else, and kills every single flea. It gets the job done like a pro while being very gentle on their skin. I can't say enough about it, I love it. haha My guys actually got their flea baths today1

I have heard Adams is a good brand. We are going to try out their yard spray here tomorrow.
