In a Nutshell

  • Effective for smaller pets, but size makes a difference.
  • Inconsistent with larger dogs.
  • Effective in killing dust, bacteria, mites, ticks, fleas and eggs.
  • May work better as a preventative to remove fleas.
  • Users mention that used on a husky did not get rid of the fleas.

Quick Verdict

The Fleabusters RX for Fleas Plus Shampoo is effective for smaller pets but shows inconsistent performance on larger breeds like huskies. The smell is not overpowering, but the lathering is poor, making it difficult to ensure full coverage. Results vary widely among users, with some praising its effectiveness and others reporting continued flea issues.

Bottom Line

Effective for smaller pets but inconsistent for larger breeds. Practical for preventative measures, but not entirely reliable as a cure for fleas, especially on huskies. Consider the size of your pet when purchasing, as user experience varies significantly with pet size, especially.
