"Obviously we don't look forward to flea season and take the necessary precautions but every once in a while our furbaby brings them home.

"My dog had a bad allergy for this shampoo. Her skin was very dry and she was itching like crazy. I had to use another shampoo and put coconut oil to help her release discomfort."
