A dog flea shampoo is a pesticide that kills fleas, flea eggs, and other pests infesting a dog’s coat. It contains pest-killing substances that can sometimes dry a dog’s skin in the process, but it is usually formulated with conditioners to counteract this.

Choosing Dog Flea Shampoos (Buying tips)
Conditioners: Choose a dog flea shampoo with conditioners like aloe vera and oils like cedar wood, eucalyptus, tea tree, and pennyroyal to prevent your dog’s skin from drying. Formulation: Choose a dog flea shampoo formulated to kill not only adult fleas but flea eggs as well.
Recommendation: Consult with your veterinarian before buying a dog flea shampoo, and get only the one recommended by him. You have to know beforehand if your dog is allergic to any of the pesticides in the shampoo.
Scent: Do not get a scented dog flea shampoo, as it can irritate your dog’s skin and attract more insects and pests.
