Huly July 3, 2013 Share July 3, 2013 That's exactly what the tea tree shampoo does...keeps their hair silky smooth and their skin underneath nice and fleas hate it! My poor dog can't use H&S as he's sensitive to everything chemical (like me) ...and use baby shampoo for their faces.... So does H&S keep the fleas away too? I know it has a lot of the same properties as tea tree for skin/dandruff..... I got this from my holistic/traditional Vet. I hate the chemicals and junk in frontline etc and since i got bit and treated for lymes last summer I use it on myself when hiking etc. I use the wipes and the spray. (NO FLEAS NO TICKS ON ANY OF MY KIDS) http://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=900656045 And you can order it from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Vetri-Repel-Flea-Repellent-Wipes-Count/dp/B003U87TZS http://www.amazon.com/Vetri-Repel-Flea-Repellent-Spray-Ounce/dp/B0030F38OM/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it has a lot of the same properties as tea tree for skin/dandruff..... I don't think H&S does much for fleas, but I really don't know as I've not used it for that. H&S helps some dogs' skin conditions, but other dogs can be sensitive. The vast majority of reports that I heard in the past indicated it was not a problem, but there was the occasional report of it causing a rash. (I read one case where after going through a litany of vet-prescribed procedures and treatments, one golden's owner tried H&S and promptly cured the dog.) Like any other shampoo, you do have to rinse well. However, H&S is medicated with zinc while tea tree shampoo (I assume) uses tea tree oil. (I do use a tea tree oil cleaner for Lacey's ears.) So if one causes a response, then the other may be a viable alternative. (Goldens are notorious for having both skin and ear issues, so I guess that we're lucky that Lacey has neither.) The nice thing about H&S is that it's inexpensive and readily available in grocery and drugstores. The other human-product that I keep on hand for Lacey is Gold Bond medicated powder should she ever get a "hot spot." Luckily, I've not had to use it for Lacey, but did use it effectively as a hot spot treatment on one of our past Goldens (Abbey). Enough on dog products. This thread's about the dollar-a-gallon sale at Petco, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer plants and oils to anything like frontline as my one dog is more sensitive than even I am... And I have a horrible chemical sensitivity,lol Yep, dollar a gallon sale at some local petcos.... Thinking about changing my sump for a 29 g if I can make it fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Garrison July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 (edited) Dulles is doing the $1 gallon sale and they have included the 55g tanks this time, previously the cut off was 40g. Okay, to quallify that, they were still doing it over the weekend, I did not see an end date so as of today it may be over as I have no idea how long they are running it for.
