Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I use the shampoo on puppies or kittens?

Ans: No, Zodiac Flea & Tick Shampoo should not be used on puppies or kittens younger than 12 weeks. Their skin is too sensitive for insecticidal ingredients like pyrethrins. Always consult your veterinarian before using any flea and tick product on very young pets.

Q2: Does this shampoo kill flea eggs and larvae?

Ans: The shampoo kills adult fleas and ticks on contact but does not affect eggs or larvae. To fully eliminate an infestation, you must also treat the pet’s bedding, home, and yard with approved insect growth regulators or environmental treatments.

Q3: How often should I bathe my pet with this shampoo?

Ans: Zodiac Flea & Tick Shampoo should be used once per week at most. Overuse can cause skin dryness or irritation. For severe infestations, combine it with environmental treatments and veterinarian-recommended flea preventives for best results.

Q4: Is it safe to use on pregnant, nursing, or elderly pets?

Ans: Consult a veterinarian before using this product on pregnant, nursing, debilitated, or elderly pets. These animals may be more sensitive to pyrethrin-based shampoos, and professional guidance ensures safety and correct dosage.

Q5: Will one bath completely eliminate a flea infestation?

Ans: No, one bath will only kill adult fleas and ticks on the pet at that moment. For complete control, treat the environment, wash bedding, and repeat treatments weekly as directed until the infestation is fully resolved.
