The best flea shampoos

Flea shampoos occupy a leading position among the means for the destruction of parasites in domestic animals. Such a love for detergents is due to their low cost, positive reviews about their use, pleasant aroma and low age threshold for use.

Types of flea shampoos and their advantages

Flea shampoos can be conditionally divided into 2 types:

• Detergents for preventive purposes. They include nutritional components and natural, plant extracts, essential oils to repel insects.
• Pet flea shampoos contain insecticidal substances, the formula of which depends on the manufacturer. Active agents penetrate the cover of parasites, block their activity, which inevitably leads to death. Flea shampoo with chemical components can not be used on an ongoing basis, since prolonged use will provoke dry skin, deterioration of the appearance of the coat.

On the shelves of pet stores a wide selection of detergents is presented and it is possible to determine which one is better only experimentally. However, there are a number of criteria that will help you choose the most effective flea shampoo that meets your pet's needs. When choosing a remedy, you should pay attention to such factors:

• purpose of the product and its composition;
• toxicity of the drug;
• age restrictions;
• breed of cat or dog;
• thickness and length of coat;
• possibility of use for pregnant and lactating cat.

Using flea shampoo for cats and dogs is very simple. The animal is placed in a basin, after which a detergent is thoroughly soaped on its skin. The exposure is maintained for a certain time, which is indicated in the instructions for each specific drug. After that, all the foam is thoroughly washed off so that not the slightest residue remains on the skin. When the pet is completely dry, the remaining flea comb out with a comb.

It is important to foresee that while swimming fleas can actively begin to bite a pet. Such aggression from parasites is caused by the penetration of detergent components into them.

On a note!

To destroy fleas from dogs and cats pet processing alone is not enough. Need to hold pest control, all feline, dog supplies, bedding, toys, as the eggs of insects are directly on them. Ignoring this item will result in re-infection of the animal.
