Adams Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo with Precor

This product works very well and leaves your animal smelling fresh and clean for a couple of weeks. I've read several reviews and it seems people don't get that when your dog or cat have fleas, it's a multi treatment process: not a 1-wash and you're done. Additionally, you need to get rid of your animals bedding, get new bedding. You need to make sure your house is not infested in the areas where they frequent the most. If you don't do the above, every time you shampoo your pet, they will go back to those areas where they were laying before you washed them and they will get reinfested. When my cat had fleas years ago, that's when I got introduced to this shampoo. I actually washed my cat in the dawn dishwashing liquid first and I leave my cat in that dishwashing liquid submerged in the water darn near up to her eyeballs for at least fifteen minutes. I'm constantly combing her while she's submerged in the soapy water to get the fleas, tics, and eggs off of her. They will typically sink to the bottom of the water because the soap is so heavy on their bodies it weighs them down and they sink to the bottom. They can't swim up and jump out of it because of the weight of the soap. I then will rinse her a lot, refill renter the sink with Adams soapy shampoo darn near up to her neck again, after that Dawn bath, for about another15 minutes. Please be sure you are doing frequent combing out of their fur while they are submerged in the water to get the fleas, tics and eggs off. I'm doing this back to back. Then, because My cat had a section of the basement infested with the fleas, I literally set up a desk lamp that had a wide base (to place a weight on it so it wouldn't tip over), with a bendable neck and had it facing the floor. I would then place a wide short bowl of water with really soapy dishwashing liquid in it, under the light, and leave it there overnight. I'd do this every single day, all day and night, until the fleas wouldn't jump in the water anymore. Id also wear a pair of white sports socks up to my knees every single time you go in the area where the dog or cat may have invested. If you no longer see them jumping on your socks after you clean everything up you're good. Here were the steps I took to get rid of a flea infestation in my basement and on my cat. NOTE: i found out someone that I let stay in my house for a week visited someone's house, while they were visiting me, whose cat/ house was flea infested. 🤬 1. Literally gave my cat a double 30 minute bath. 15 minute soak in dawn blue dishwashing liquid while constantly coming with a fleet comb while your pet is still in the water. This will help to remove/loosen the fleas, tics, and eggs into the soapy water where they will pretty much sink to the bottom of the tub. 2. after bathing your pet do not put them back in the same place where the investigation was. You will need to place your cat in a infestation is eradicated. 3. Throw away your cat's stuff and buy all new stuff. 4. Buy the flea and tick pills that are hard. Grind them up and put them in your cat's food. When the ticks and fleas bite your pet, ingest their blood, and they die. This really helped to clear my cat's body of fleas as well. 5. Buy the food grade diotamatious earth and one of those little tiny accordion looking things that you put the powder in. As you squeeze it in the areas where the fleas were, the powder blows out nicely dispersed. It blows the powdery substance out far and wide in the area. 6. Every time you vacuum, make sure you suck in some diotamacious earth inside of your vacuum FIRST. Then vacuum everywhere like crazy a lot! Diotamatious Earth will kill them on the spot. It sticks into their bodies like shards of glass. Vacuum daily with this process until your issues have resolved and fleas gone. 7. PLEASE DO THE DESK-LAMP-SOAPY-BOWL AND LIGHT PROCESS ON THE FLOOR DAILY UNTIL YOU DO NOT SEE THEM JUMPING INTO THE BOWL ANYMORE. YOU WILL DUMP THIS WATER DAILY AND REDO YOU NO LONGER SEE PLEASE AND THE BOWL THE NEXT DAY. 8. IF YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF INFESTATION, EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT, WEAR TALL WHITE SPORTS SOCKS EVERY TIME YOU ENTER THE AREA THAT YOU'RE PET FREQUENTS REGULARLY. FLEAS WILL JUMP ON YOUR CLOTHES, AND YOU WILL TAKE THEM EVERY OTHER PLACE IN YOUR HOUSE WHERE YOU WALK. YOU CAN VACUUM THE FLEAS OFF OF YOUR SOCKS AS YOU LEAVE THE AREA. PLACE THOSE SOCKS IN SOAPY WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES, SCRUB THEM, RINSE THEM OUT, LET THEM DRY, AND REUSE. SORRY IF I FORGOT ANYTHING. I TRULY HOPE. THIS HELPS ANYONE.

This ADAMS Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo with Precor works incredibly well. It knocks down fleas fast, lathers nicely, and rinses clean without leaving any residue. After using it, my animals smell genuinely good — not just “clean,” but fresh — and their fur becomes noticeably soft and smooth. It’s one of those products that makes bath time feel worth it because you can see and feel the difference right away. For flea control and a great‑smelling, soft‑coated pet, this shampoo delivers.

This Adams Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo is fantastic! I used it on my cat during a recent flea scare, and it worked incredibly well. The shampoo lathers nicely, has a pleasant fresh scent, and rinses clean without leaving any residue. It killed adult fleas, ticks, and lice on contact, and the added Precor (insect growth regulator) helps prevent reinfestation by stopping flea eggs and larvae from developing — a huge plus that most basic shampoos don’t offer. My pets’ coats looked shinier and felt softer afterward, and neither showed any signs of skin irritation. The sensitive skin formula really delivered. A little goes a long way, when you use correctly, the 12 oz bottle lasts through multiple baths. my cat tolerated the bath much better than expected, and the fresh scent is light and non-overpowering. If you’re dealing with fleas, ticks, or just want a reliable grooming shampoo with extra protection, this is the one to get. Excellent product that actually does what it promises. Highly recommend!

It had a great lather, and knocked a bunch of fleas off while in the bath—yet, those that still remained were either dead, and just stuck on the cat until combed out, or still moseying around, fully alive. Most of those were around the face areas, which would make sense as the product weren’t to be applied there, but there were stragglers along the larger expanses of the body, too. Like they were late to the eradication party, and just didn’t get the memo they were supposed to get the boot. My confusion towards what to properly rate this shampoo—although I’d been using sprays for rooms, regularly cleaning fabrics/surfaces/floors, combing them multiple times a day, and feeding them flea preventative chews in addition to this product—stems from uncertainty. After I’d washed them, and combed out the fleas, the cats were actually able to peacefully sleep during the night and focus solely on playing, rather than scratching, during the following morning. By early afternoon, however, about half the usual amount of fleas returned. It were rather unsettling to have removed the fleas the night before(judging by sight and amount of scratching, if any), but then exhaustingly gaze upon another fur and skin infestation the very next day, like—huh?!? What HAPPENED?! So far, in my flea removal journey, nothing had really seemed to work just yet. On the bright side, this shampoo has a wonderfully pleasant scent, and caused the fur to have a velvety, long-lasting, moisturized tactility. That were fantastic; the cats STILL smell great even now, mid-afternoon the day after their bath! I’d say for the SMALL bottle size, it were easy to glob on despite the type of child-proof-like cap and the freshness seal being wrestled with a bit. It cleaned away dirt very well from a long-haired cat; their fur felt so wonderfully fluffy, soft and clean! I could glide a comb through their bushy tail with NO resistance, compared to other pet shampoos used. The value is good, despite the TINY bottle size, but still on the fence with that clean-and-partially-flea-free-for-a-night-and-morning-then-a-near-mess-again-by-afternoon result. So eh. I’m interested in using it again for its scent, alone haha. But, currently, I am in NO RUSH to try bathing them again anytime soon, as my scratched/bitten up hands and arms should probably have the chance to fully heal first.🤣 Update!: It’s been 2-3 days, now. The flea amounts have increased a bit. On the bright side, for the short-haired cats, the wonderful aroma is impressively STILL very much present! It continues to be the right amount of “strong”. For the long-hair, however, the scent went away within a day’s time haha. All the cats still have lusciously soft fur after that shampooing. Second update!: It’s been almost a full week now, since the cats have been bathed with this product. You’re NOT gonna believe this, but even after spraying them down in a STRONG “wonder”ous cedar smell that clung to them and made their fur sticky/clammy-tacky for about 2 days, once it all wore away and their fur started smoothing out again, THE PLEASANT SCENT OF THIS SHAMPOO STILL REMAINED BENEATH IT ALL!! For only 2 of the kitties, of whom had been rolling around on the floor playing with each other, I couldn’t smell the shampoo anymore. Perhaps because one were the longhair, the shorthair who interacted with them the most began taking on their natural B.O. haha. There is another playful cat who often engages with those two, but that one still carries the aroma of this shampoo. Like I’d stated before, if I did use this shampoo again, it would primarily be for the scent!!🤣

The 24-ounce bottle gives you a decent amount of shampoo, especially compared with some pet shampoos that come in much smaller bottles. It lathers well enough to work through the coat and rinses out without being overly difficult. I also like that this isn't simply marketed as a regular cleaning shampoo—the product is specifically intended for flea and tick treatment and includes Precor. Definitely read and follow the label directions carefully, including the animal, age and application instructions. Products for flea and tick control aren't something I would use casually without following the manufacturer's directions. As far as the actual shampoo and packaging go, I've been satisfied with it.

This is really the only flea & tick shampoo we use and has been for years. Honestly, I typically purchase it in the store, but since discovering it here on Amazon, I'm spending less, and that makes me very happy. It works so well you can see the fleas come off and die, and it doesn't irritate my cats skin as other high dollar brands have done. It leaves their fur smelling and looking so nice & soft. And you don't need much! This is definitely an Adam's household!

I have an white Maltese which is a non shedding dog so we occasionally trim the hair making any kind of insect clearly visible. Not only is it an indoor dog but we only have white tiles in our home, no carpet and only leather sofas. I've used this product over the years and notice that the initial fleas do die yes but the prevention claim is false. I've seen multiple fleas on my dog afterwards a few days later. At first, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Once or twice is okay. Pain the ass yes but manageable. Maybe the fleas eggs hatched elsewhere and got in when he goes to pee outside or something but I started to notice that this isn't a once or twice thing. Over the years I've noticed it again and again especially when the next summer rolls by. It did nothing to prevent new fleas a few days or even a few weeks after. I even brought this brand up with my mom and she has the exact same experience. Then I reread this claims again. Nowhere does it say that it prevents new fleas. Only that it prevents "Eggs from Hatching". Technically they didn't lie but this rubs me the wrong way because it implies that you can prevent fleas for 28 days but they don't. + Does kill fleas - "Supposedly" only prevents eggs from hatching. Does not prevent new fleas from getting on ur pet.

I’ve used this as my cats main shampoo now and he seems to like it and so do I! Kills fleas and I think works well, my cat likes to go outside and even with flea prevention he still sometimes picks up a few. No chemical smell. He often gets compliments on his smell. Used on dogs too and it lasted at least 6 months.

Good

Excellent product value for money and it is so effective against teak and lice. But you will have order in advance as shipping time is 45 days minimum

Good result given product, first use itself my dog feel much comfortable.
