Flea dermatitis
Bought this out of desperation as I normally do not use flea shampoos bc it makes cats sick when they go to lick themselves dry. Had a flea investigation that I finally manage to get rid of but it caused my older cat to have flea dermatitis causing dandruff. Got this bc it had high reviews. After just one use on my (older) female cat, & she was done licking herself dry, she was feeling great. Got rid of excess fleas hanging out, their nasty waste and the dandruff. It also made her fur and skin so soft! She's actually happy and calm instead of a acting like a grumpy old grandma cat. WORTH EVERY LAST PENNY & it's affordable.

Protection that smells great!
Having effective protection from fleas & ticks is imperative - especially since we live in an area surrounded by farm fields. This is the FIRST year we have been seeing ticks with our own eyes hanging out in the yard...so, needless to say, the Veterinary Formula Flea & Tick Shampoo gives me great peace of mind in knowing I'm doing everything possible to help protect my pup!

Happy and Flea Free
Monthly topicals are NOT enough! This shampoo is a must for my Ragdolls! The fleas are unalived on contact but the shampoo is gentle and leaves my cats clean and fresh with shining coats!

Actually Works and Smells Good Too
I was given this product in exchange for my honest review. I used the Veterinary Formula Flea & Tick Shampoo during a recent flea flare-up and was honestly impressed. The scent is fresh and clean, not at all chemical or harsh, and it lathered up really well. A little goes a long way.
The directions were super clear, including exactly where to start applying. I left it on for about five minutes and could literally see results while rinsing. Three dead fleas came off during the bath. After he dried, I checked him over and didn’t find a single flea left.
He’s still a little itchy from the bites, but I haven’t seen any signs of new fleas since. This shampoo worked quickly and made bath time way easier than I expected.

Great for my dog
My frenchie is very itchy and then I received this shampoo for her and after 2 baths I see noticeable differences in her scratching and licking of her paws. I think this product works well, but you definitely have to use it on a weekly basis. It also lathers very well so a little goes a long way. Great product, I definitely recommend!
