AdamsPlus Flea & Tick Shampoo with Precor 1 Gallon

This product works very well and leaves your animal smelling fresh and clean for a couple of weeks.I've read several reviews and it seems people don't get that when your dog or cat have fleas, it's a multi treatment process: not a 1-wash and you're done.Additionally, you need to get rid of your animals bedding, get new bedding. You need to make sure your house is not infested in the areas where they frequent the most. If you don't do the above, every time you shampoo your pet, they will go back to those areas where they were laying before you washed them and they will get reinfested.When my cat had fleas years ago, that's when I got introduced to this shampoo. I actually washed my cat in the dawn dishwashing liquid first and I leave my cat in that dishwashing liquid submerged in the water darn near up to her eyeballs for at least fifteen minutes. I'm constantly combing her while she's submerged in the soapy water to get the fleas, tics, and eggs off of her. They will typically sink to the bottom of the water because the soap is so heavy on their bodies it weighs them down and they sink to the bottom. They can't swim up and jump out of it because of the weight of the soap. I then will rinse her a lot, refill renter the sink with Adams soapy shampoo darn near up to her neck again, after that Dawn bath, for about another15 minutes. Please be sure you are doing frequent combing out of their fur while they are submerged in the water to get the fleas, tics and eggs off. I'm doing this back to back.Then, because My cat had a section of the basement infested with the fleas, I literally set up a desk lamp that had a wide base (to place a weight on it so it wouldn't tip over), with a bendable neck and had it facing the floor. I would then place a wide short bowl of water with really soapy dishwashing liquid in it, under the light, and leave it there overnight. I'd do this every single day, all day and night, until the fleas wouldn't jump in the water anymore. Id also wear a pair of white sports socks up to my knees every single time you go in the area where the dog or cat may have invested. If you no longer see them jumping on your socks after you clean everything up you're good.Here were the steps I took to get rid of a flea infestation in my basement and on my cat. NOTE: i found out someone that I let stay in my house for a week visited someone's house, while they were visiting me, whose cat/ house was flea infested. 🤬1. Literally gave my cat a double 30 minute bath. 15 minute soak in dawn blue dishwashing liquid while constantly coming with a fleet comb while your pet is still in the water. This will help to remove/loosen the fleas, tics, and eggs into the soapy water where they will pretty much sink to the bottom of the tub.2. after bathing your pet do not put them back in the same place where the investigation was. You will need to place your cat in a infestation is eradicated.3. Throw away your cat's stuff and buy all new stuff.4. Buy the flea and tick pills that are hard. Grind them up and put them in your cat's food. When the ticks and fleas bite your pet, ingest their blood, and they die. This really helped to clear my cat's body of fleas as well.5. Buy the food grade diotamatious earth and one of those little tiny accordion looking things that you put the powder in. As you squeeze it in the areas where the fleas were, the powder blows out nicely dispersed. It blows the powdery substance out far and wide in the area.6. Every time you vacuum, make sure you suck in some diotamacious earth inside of your vacuum FIRST. Then vacuum everywhere like crazy a lot! Diotamatious Earth will kill them on the spot. It sticks into their bodies like shards of glass. Vacuum daily with this process until your issues have resolved and fleas gone.7. PLEASE DO THE DESK-LAMP-SOAPY-BOWL AND LIGHT PROCESS ON THE FLOOR DAILY UNTIL YOU DO NOT SEE THEM JUMPING INTO THE BOWL ANYMORE. YOU WILL DUMP THIS WATER DAILY AND REDO YOU NO LONGER SEE PLEASE AND THE BOWL THE NEXT DAY.8. IF YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF INFESTATION, EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT, WEAR TALL WHITE SPORTS SOCKS EVERY TIME YOU ENTER THE AREA THAT YOU'RE PET FREQUENTS REGULARLY. FLEAS WILL JUMP ON YOUR CLOTHES, AND YOU WILL TAKE THEM EVERY OTHER PLACE IN YOUR HOUSE WHERE YOU WALK. YOU CAN VACUUM THE FLEAS OFF OF YOUR SOCKS AS YOU LEAVE THE AREA. PLACE THOSE SOCKS IN SOAPY WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES, SCRUB THEM, RINSE THEM OUT, LET THEM DRY, AND REUSE.SORRY IF I FORGOT ANYTHING.I TRULY HOPE.THIS HELPS ANYONE.

I love love love the shampoo! I’ve tried several different shampoo for my huskies and this one works the best especially with killing fleas! This stuff kills fleas on contact! I keep this stuff in my house like I keep bread in my house. Not that the dogs get fleas a lot but sometimes when I take them to the dog park, yeah they will come home with fleas. I do not and cannot recommend any other dog shampoo, but this one shampoo them in this leave it on for 10 minutes and you will see fleas just dying instantly. It’s a great price for the money. The only other place that I’ve seen this is at tractor supply company. And don’t spend any more than $20 a bottle for this for I believe the 20 or 24 ounce because that’s where I’ve got it for several times if they’re charging you more than that then don’t buy it! And it smells good on the dogs

It had a great lather, and knocked a bunch of fleas off while in the bath—yet, those that still remained were either dead, and just stuck on the cat until combed out, or still moseying around, fully alive. Most of those were around the face areas, which would make sense as the product weren’t to be applied there, but there were stragglers along the larger expanses of the body, too. Like they were late to the eradication party, and just didn’t get the memo they were supposed to get the boot.My confusion towards what to properly rate this shampoo—although I’d been using sprays for rooms, regularly cleaning fabrics/surfaces/floors, combing them multiple times a day, and feeding them flea preventative chews in addition to this product—stems from uncertainty.After I’d washed them, and combed out the fleas, the cats were actually able to peacefully sleep during the night and focus solely on playing, rather than scratching, during the following morning. By early afternoon, however, about half the usual amount of fleas returned. It were rather unsettling to have removed the fleas the night before(judging by sight and amount of scratching, if any), but then exhaustingly gaze upon another fur and skin infestation the very next day, like—huh?!? What HAPPENED?!So far, in my flea removal journey, nothing had really seemed to work just yet. On the bright side, this shampoo has a wonderfully pleasant scent, and caused the fur to have a velvety, long-lasting, moisturized tactility. That were fantastic; the cats STILL smell great even now, mid-afternoon the day after their bath!I’d say for the SMALL bottle size, it were easy to glob on despite the type of child-proof-like cap and the freshness seal being wrestled with a bit. It cleaned away dirt very well from a long-haired cat; their fur felt so wonderfully fluffy, soft and clean! I could glide a comb through their bushy tail with NO resistance, compared to other pet shampoos used.The value is good, despite the TINY bottle size, but still on the fence with that clean-and-partially-flea-free-for-a-night-and-morning-then-a-near-mess-again-by-afternoon result. So eh. I’m interested in using it again for its scent, alone haha.But, currently, I am in NO RUSH to try bathing them again anytime soon, as my scratched/bitten up hands and arms should probably have the chance to fully heal first.🤣Update!: It’s been 2-3 days, now. The flea amounts have increased a bit. On the bright side, for the short-haired cats, the wonderful aroma is impressively STILL very much present! It continues to be the right amount of “strong”. For the long-hair, however, the scent went away within a day’s time haha. All the cats still have lusciously soft fur after that shampooing.Second update!: It’s been almost a full week now, since the cats have been bathed with this product. You’re NOT gonna believe this, but even after spraying them down in a STRONG “wonder”ous cedar smell that clung to them and made their fur sticky/clammy-tacky for about 2 days, once it all wore away and their fur started smoothing out again, THE PLEASANT SCENT OF THIS SHAMPOO STILL REMAINED BENEATH IT ALL!! For only 2 of the kitties, of whom had been rolling around on the floor playing with each other, I couldn’t smell the shampoo anymore. Perhaps because one were the longhair, the shorthair who interacted with them the most began taking on their natural B.O. haha. There is another playful cat who often engages with those two, but that one still carries the aroma of this shampoo.Like I’d stated before, if I did use this shampoo again, it would primarily be for the scent!!🤣

I used the flea powder for my apartment and it wiped out the flea infestation, so I thought I’d give the shampoo a try. Woowwwww!! Incredible product. I had no idea my dogs had that many fleas. When I rinsed the shampoo off them lots of fleas came along with it, and after they were dry, the flees were still falling off dead. My dogs were itching a lot less, I think they had hotspots left. I checked their fur thoroughly and didn’t see a single flea! Also it left their fur super soft and smelling great! I really love this product and highly recommend it. Adams is my new favorite product for my dogs.
