SENTRY Oatmeal Flea and Tick Shampoo for Dogs, Rid Your Dog of Fleas, Ticks, and Other Pests, Hawaiian Ginger Scent, 18 oz

Best Bang for your buck! Leaves the fur babies smelling super fresh and have definitely noticed significant decrease in itching so flea control is amazing.

This is the best shampoo I've gotten so far, it has a great smell that last way longer than any other flea shampoo. The best part is it so hard to find flea and tick shampoo that does what it says, this is the only shampoo that does what it says, it repels ticks and fleas and the fleas that are currently on your pet this shampoo kills them. I'm so happy I finally found a shampoo that I can rely on. I'll definitely be ordering more of this. What great about it also, is the price. Don't take my word for it try it for yourself

Makes fur really soft and has a great smell. Works well on flea control if keep on tight schedule.

I love this for my dog! It smells great, makes his coat soft, and keeps the fleas/ticks away. As it gets harder to find in store, being able to buy this big bottle online at a reasonable price is great! (We’ve been using this same scent and brand since he got old enough too. He’s now ten years old and still making it through every bath smelling good!)

. . . BUT, ONCE YOUR PET HAS FLEAS YOU HAVE TO BATHE THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, TREAT YOUR DOG AND/OR CAT BEDDING FOR FLEAS. APPLY A FLEA POWDER ON YOUR CARPETING, AND USE A FLEA SPRAY ON YOUR YARD (i highly recommend Sentry as that is what worked for me) IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR PETS FREE FROM RE-INFESTATION. I read all the 1 star reviews and it's true that there will always be someone that will be allergic to something. My mother was allergic to penicillin and insulin (although she was diabetic) and we learned about these allergies when she went into shock and then a coma when these drugs where administered to her. But, that doesn't mean that NO ONE should use penicillin and insulin. I have to bathe a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd. Both have "other" skin allergies that require medicated shampoos. So I always apply the Sentry shampoo on the GS first and let her sit with the Sentry shampoo while I apply the Sentry shampoo on the GR. Then I rinse the Sentry shampoo off the GS and apply her medicated shampoo while the GR is sitting with the Sentry Shampoo. Since the medicated shampoos on both dogs also have to sit I just keep trading until I get to their rinses. It takes me a good 10-15 minutes to get through a bath or rinse/bath so the Sentry shampoo does stay on at least the recommended amount of time. I've been doing the flea regime stated above since mid-august and I it took almost this long, but pets, house and yard are now all flea-free. Because of their skin issues, I have to bathe them twice a week. When their fleas were really bad I used the flea bath with every bath. Now that we don't have any fleas, I only use it maybe every week to 10 days. For the reviewer concerned that it turned the dog's coat brownish. I used to bathe a white Maltese that I had to follow-up with a whitening shampoo. As long as you allow the Sentry to sit on the dog for the recommended time, I have found that you're OK to follow up with another shampoo and/or conditioner. It does indeed smell great while I'm shampooing my dogs. Unfortunately, I have to followup with a medicated shampoo that washes away the scent of this shampoo. So not sure about how long the scent might "stay" on the dog after it dries.

Shipping is awful. Twice I have ordered and the spout has come unlocked, squirting soap all over the inside of the box. The isn’t any plastic seal to prevent. One bottle was returned as so much leaked that it had ruined the box. The soap smells good at least.

Love the smell

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Tried several brands before I bought this. This is the only one that killed the fleas almost instantaneously. You could actually see them falling off as you rinse. Great product.
