Types of flea shampoos and their virtues
Flea shampoos can be divided into 2 types:
- Detergents for preventive purposes. They are composed of nutrients and natural, plant extracts, essential oils to repel insects.
- Zoo shampoos for the destruction of fleas contain insecticidal substances, the formula of which depends on the manufacturer. Active agents penetrate through the cover of parasites, blocking their activity, which inevitably leads to death. Flea shampoo with chemical components can not be used on an ongoing basis, as long-term use provokes dry skin, deterioration of the appearance of wool.
On the shelves of pet stores, there is a wide selection of detergent off-the-sheet products and it is possible to determine which of them is best possible only experimentally. However, there are a number of criteria that will help you choose the most effective flea shampoo that meets the needs of the pet. When choosing a tool should pay attention to such factors:
- the purpose of the tool and its composition;
- drug toxicity;
- age restrictions;
- breed of cat or dog;
- thickness and length of wool;
- possibility of use for pregnant and lactating cat.
Use flea shampoo for cats and dogs is very simple. The animal is placed in the pelvis, after which a detergent is thoroughly soaped onto its skin. The exposure is maintained for a certain time, which is indicated in the instructions for each specific drug. After that, all the foam is carefully washed off, so that the skin does not have the slightest residue. When the pet is completely dry, the remaining a flea combed out with a comb.
It is important to provide that while bathing, fleas may begin to actively bite a pet. Such an aggression on the part of parasites is caused by the penetration of detergent components into them.
