To get the most effective results from your flea shampoo, you need to do more than give them a quick 5-minute shower. You’ll need a tub, water source, flea shampoo, fine-tooth comb, and a preventative measure.
First, get your dog in the tub and secure them with a leash and collar. Soak your dog’s fur with warm water that is not too hot to make your dog uncomfortable. Apply the recommended amount of dog shampoo and massage it into your dog’s skin, taking the time to create a good lather.
Follow the instructions of the flea shampoo that you’re using to prevent using it incorrectly. You might need to leave it on their coat for a certain amount of time. Make sure to keep your dog happy by talking to them and praising them.
Rinse the shampoo thoroughly with warm water and towel dry your dog before giving them a treat. Now you might want to use a flea comb to remove the dead fleas from their skin and introduce a preventative measure such as a spot-on treatment or a flea collar.
