dawn dishwashing soap Comments By: rose

Don't ever shampoo your pet in anything but a pet shampoo unless instructed by your vet. It strips the essential oils from their coat and can cause other problems. If you have fleas, get a vet recommended product and treat the pet. Fleas can reproduce so quickly once they bite your pet and the eggs don't stay on the pet, they get into carpets, furniture, etc.

Unhappy Comments By: Debbie

I am really disappointed in the last three bottles of Dawn that I have purchased. The suds do not last and it is killing my hands. Please undo what has been done with the formula.

Rose-Dawn dishwashing liquid is recommended by vets... Comments By: Anon

Before going off on your high horse Rose, perhaps you should collect the facts. Vets do recommend the Dawn dishwashing liquid to wash pets, particularly if they are infested. In fact, I was particularly told to use this solution for shampooing 4 little kittens that a stray cat had on my property, who were infested. The vet said this wouldbe the quickest way to get rid alot of the fleas before applying a small amount of advantage. IF I did nothing, the kittens could actually be a risk at dying from anemia. This method did remove alot of the fleas. I wouldn't necessarily say they killed all of them but knocked them out a least long enough to be able to pick alot of them off with tweezers. several in the sink started hopping around after a period of time but I just rinsed them down the sink. Time will tell how effective the treatment is as a whole.

fleas and dawn Comments By: myrrisa

dawn dishwasing soap does the tick for fleas on dogs. we just got a new puppy and we were told to use dawn bc it is not harmful to a young puppy. i could not believe how well it worked. took them all out in one scrub.

thinnling Comments By: spyros k

I have a question. If I use dawn dishwashing detergent on my dog to kill fleas, will it strip off the advantage I put on her a couple weeks ago. I used dawn, as recomended by a friend, and it was amazing! It killed fleas instantly. But I just don't want to take away her protective medicine. any help would be awesome. thank you.

Dawn For Fleas Comments By: Phil

Hello all.....Yes I work at The Cincinnati Zoo and a Vet told me to use ONLY THE BLUE DAWN!!! This does help with fleas. If you do use this product you should wait about 72 hours before applying FrontLine also you need to treat the inside of your home to kill the adult fleas and the eggs. Apply to areas such as where the pet sleeps most. And apply to beds carpet and sofas etc the product I use I get from my vet called Siphotrol Plus ll premise Spray made by Vet-Kem. Its 100% knock down in 10 Minutes and it last for 30 weeks. and it treats 2,000 square feet per bottle. JUST DONT SPRAY IT ON YOUR PETS!!!!!! and its water based aerosol and leaves no sticky mess. so you can spray beds etc. I hope I gave you enough info. I HATE FLEAS :) the also have a website www.vet-kem.com Phone 1800-766-7661

Dawn for ur pets ........... Comments By: Dog lover

I must say this product is awesome, I was told by the vet to use DAWN because over the past couple of weeks I noticed my dog had fleas each time I bathed him and I was disgusted and had to get them out, I bathed him in it and after applied advantix was satisfied. I do recommend this to others who have pets I will bathe him in Dawn from now on ...
