Advantage Flea and Tick Shampoo

This shampoo is scientifically formulated to kill fleas and ticks on contact, helping your pup during an active flea infestation. But, while it can be helpful when you’re in a bind, it’s important to know that any flea and tick shampoo isn’t an effective treatment on its own.

“Shampoos cannot be used as a substitute for monthly flea and tick prevention,” says Dr. Higgs. “They are meant to be a quick treatment for pests that are present on the dog at the time of the bath. They have limited residual activity and no active prevention, so additional preventatives are needed.”

The Advantage Flea and Tick Shampoo is unscented, which is ideal for pets and pet parents that are sensitive to products with fragrances.

Shampoos don’t offer protection from future fleas and ticks, so they can’t be used as a substitute for preventative medication. Instead, flea and tick shampoos serve as a quick treatment in conjunction with another medication to completely get rid of a flea infestation on your pup.

Always discuss any flea and tick shampoo or other products you are using with your veterinarian.
