The very informative article indeed. These are some awesome pet products that will protect the pets from insects, flea & the price is also reasonable. Advantage® Treatment Shampoo for Dogs is doing excellent work. I used it before for my furry friend. Although this shampoo is not for puppies, dogs aged 12 weeks or more can use it. I have a few queries though, is there any side effect? How can we properly use it? I think every dog owner should carefully consider about harmful effects of the pests that carry some disease to a dog which is very painful. Thanks for your valuable post.
Feedfond, your concerns about your furry friends are valid. The shampoos come with directions and we should recognize that this is an insecticide we are using (specifically: Pyrethrins, Piperonyl Butoxide, Insecticide Synergist) and should be used carefully. While most dogs don’t experience any side effects, there is this warning.
Warning
Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. Causes skin irritation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or clothing. Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing product vapor. If available, wear protective eyewear such as goggles or safety glasses. Wear gloves made out of any waterproof material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Physical Or Chemical Hazards
Combustible. Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
FIRST AID
IF IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eyes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
IF ON SKIN OR CLOTHING: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
IF INHALED: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance. Then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment. For information regarding medical emergencies or pesticide incidents, call 1-855-886-7970.
HOW TO USE: Wet the animal’s coat for 2-3 minutes with warm water. Apply shampoo on head and ears and lather. Then repeat procedure with neck, chest, and middle and hindquarters, finishing legs last and paying special attention to the footpads (between the toes) and underbody areas. Wash the head and ear areas carefully, making sure to keep the shampoo out of the animal’s eyes. NOTE: A drop of glycerin in each eye before bathing may prevent or reduce irritation if the shampoo gets in the animal’s eyes. Pay special attention to the base of the tail, as it is a place frequented by fleas. Fully lather animal and let lather remain on animal for 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water. NOTE: This final step is an important part of grooming procedure.
For small dogs less than 15 pounds, wrapping the animal in a towel for several minutes to absorb moisture is advised. This also will allow dying fleas and ticks to crawl off animal into the towel before drying animal with a towel or blow dryer.
Wow. Thanks for the reply. 🙂
I’ve used Frontline Plus for several years with my two dogs, but now I switched to Seresto collars. I was doing some research for my website, and I tested the collars for a while. I’m pretty forgetful, so a collar that works for 8 months straight was just the ideal solution for me.
I hear some dog owners are finding fleas and ticks becoming resistant to Frontline Plus, but in most areas it is still effective.
hey!!! thanks for this amazing post
Hi Anni!
You are very welcome! I’m glad you found the 5 effective pet products for flea and tick control useful. 🙂
Advantage! Is really good. I’ve used it for a long time for my Dizzy. However, don’t know first 6-7 baths were amazing but then fleas got resistant to the shampoo or don’t know what happended! So, I moved to Soresto collar and till now it is working fine.
Glad you found the Seresto collar that works for Dizzy. Fleas can be a real problem. 🐶
Been out with my dogs all summer! Needless to say, fleas and ticks have become an issue, so I’m testing the Seresto collar next. Been hearing good things about it.
