Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can the shampoo be used on puppies?

Ans: Yes. Adams Plus Flea & Tick Foaming Shampoo & Wash is safe for dogs and puppies aged 12 weeks and older. It effectively kills fleas, ticks, and lice on contact while being gentle on young pets’ skin, thanks to its aloe, lanolin, and oatmeal conditioning blend.

Q2: How long does protection last after a bath?

Ans: After bathing, the shampoo continues to protect your dog by preventing flea eggs from hatching for up to 28 days. While this breaks the flea life cycle, heavily infested pets may require reapplication every 7–10 days for continued relief from adult fleas and ticks.

Q3: Is this shampoo safe for dogs with sensitive skin?

Ans: Yes. The formula includes soothing ingredients like aloe vera, lanolin, and oatmeal to calm and moisturize dry or irritated skin. It’s also lightly scented with aloe and cucumber, making it suitable for regular use on dogs that need gentle pest protection and grooming.

Q4: Can this shampoo be used alongside other flea-tick treatments?

Ans: It’s best to consult your veterinarian before combining this shampoo with other flea or tick control products. The manufacturer recommends avoiding simultaneous pesticide use unless directed by a professional, as overlapping active ingredients may increase the risk of irritation or toxicity in pets.

Q5: Does the shampoo treat ticks as well as fleas?

Ans: Yes. Adams Plus Flea & Tick Foaming Shampoo kills both fleas and ticks on contact and also controls lice infestations. Its insect growth regulator (S-Methoprene) further prevents flea eggs from developing into adults, offering extended protection and breaking the pest life cycle effectively.
