Treat and Prevent Flea Infestations With Dog Flea Shampoo

Fleas threaten the health and comfort of your four-legged friends — and can threaten your health and comfort, too. But dog flea shampoo and flea and tick collars can help treat and prevent infestations in your dog or cat.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What shampoo will kill fleas?

A: Flea shampoos kill fleas and their eggs on dogs or cats. Flea shampoos come in two types: those that contain pesticides and those that use essential oils. Either can work, though success may depend to an extent on the flea species and the severity of the infestation. Be sure to purchase pet-friendly shampoos designed to manage flea outbreaks, as not all shampoos are safe or effective.


Consult a veterinarian before choosing a dog flea shampoo and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Check on whether flea products are for dogs, cats or both, as some products for dogs can be toxic for cats.


Q: Are flea shampoos effective?

A: Flea shampoos are generally effective, though shampoos with pesticides, such as permethrin, have longer-lasting effects than shampoos that use essential oils. However, to control flea infestations and inhibit future outbreaks, it’s essential to use preventive flea medications, which come in both oral and topical varieties.


Q: Is it OK to touch a flea collar?

A: Flea and tick collars can be an important part of flea prevention, and they’re generally considered safe for occasional contact with humans, including children. However, because these collars contain pesticides to deter fleas, humans should avoid handling them unnecessarily. Prolonged contact with flea collars may cause skin irritation. Consult a doctor if you have concerns about safety or have a reaction. If the prospect of using a dog collar for fleas worries you, oral flea medication may be a more comfortable flea prevention option.
