In a Nutshell

  • Highly rated for flea and tick control with a pleasant scent.
  • Mixed effectiveness in severe infestations and skin irritation potential.
  • Needs rinses for full removal, as users reported dermatitis.

Quick Verdict

This shampoo is largely effective in controlling fleas and ticks, with a pleasant smell, but users have mixed experiences with its effectiveness, especially in heavier infestations. Some users reported issues with skin irritation and the need for additional baths to fully remove the soap. Overall, while it offers good pest control, it may not be the best solution for all cats, particularly those with very sensitive skin or severe infestations.

Highlighted Reviews

— William

"It a great shampoo for cats, it leaves them refresh and smells good, also attack NY fleas that might want to hang it their hairs."

— Krystyna

"Literally hasn’t worked at all. I am bathing my cat daily and not only do they not fall off in the bath, they don’t die and I have to daily comb them off of her."

Bottom Line

This shampoo is a decent option for mild to moderate flea and tick infestations, offering both quality and pleasantly-scented stain cleansing. It may, however, fall short in more severe cases, requiring the need for additional flea treatments.
