Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas

RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By Moon (Guest Post) I am a professional groomer. Yes, Dawn will kill fleas. It is also great in a spray bottle mixed in water for a safe pesticide. Although it does kill fleas on your pet, It will not prevent them. Fleas have a 10-14 day life cycle & once they are in your home they live in the carpets, couches, beds, etc. You have to treat the Pet(S), Yards, Carpets, Couches, Bedding, and anywhere your pet may be. Repeat everything in 10-14 days & if you can a 3rd time. There are organic flea treatments to keep the fleas off your pets for 30 days. Treat your pets with this during the 1st cleaning & again on the 31st day. I use dawn as a yard pesticide with a mixer on the hose & hose the yard down. DO NOT wash your pet with the dawn more than once a week & finish with a condition so not to strip the natural oils of your pets coat.

Including myself. What a life saver. The Dawn worked wonders on my kitty and a apple cider vinegar rinse just sealed the deal. Its more natural and better for my kitty and myself. My kitty is strictly an indoor cat. How in the world did she get the fleas? A lady at the grocery store said the fleas do come in on your shoes so they stay out the door til I leave again Posted on 10/30/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By cindy (Guest Post) This was fantastic! My ex brought two kittens to my house for our children. I specifically asked him if they had fleas and of course the moron said no. When they got here, I checked and sure enough they were infested beyond words. They are too small to use any kind of flea killer so I got on the internet and found this. IT worked wonders! NO MORE FLEAS! Thank you so much. Posted on 10/26/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By Reece (Guest Post) I just tried Dawn today. It works GREAT! Other "Flea" shampoos didn't do this. When I was washing my dog they fell off dead not just hopping around the the tub like before. I think it is the heavy lather that smothers them. And I would just like to add that he was covered with them and we have tried EVERYTHING! I will post in a few days to let you all know what the end result is since I just bathed him today.

The girl I got him from said nothing of course and he has long hair, so I didn't notice gave him a bath with the dawn classic dish soap and it worked wonders. It didn't kill every flea but still killed a majority and I didn't have to worry that it would hurt him.

Thanks and regards, Kali Posted on 07/30/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By (Guest Post) Ask your vet, ask your vet, ask your vet. It's always, ask your vet. We rely so much on the knowledge of others that when someone who looks, sounds or seems credible tells us to do something, we follow without question. Just because someone has a degree and sounds knowledgeable doesn't always make them right. If doctors, vets, and paid professionals were never wrong, there wouldn't be such things as consumer reports or consumer digest. I think when the majority of the consumers, those that are actually using the products, says it works, I'll believe them before I believe the vet. You gotta understand that a vet is there to help animals, but first and foremost they are operating a business. Business is always first, that's the reality of it. They want to help your animals yes, but first of all they need to be able to keep their facility up. My vet recommended frontline plus to control fleas. I told him we just bought advantix. He countered with, it's active ingredient is a neuro-toxin and frontline isn't. He also recommended that I buy 2 packs of frontline to get me through the whole season. I declined the second pack of frontline but I went with his word on frontline because, what do I know, I'm only a citizen, he's the qualified vet. Then shortly after this he recommended a heartworm preventative because it's a disease carried by mosquitoes and frontline doesn't offer protection for mosquitoes. I declilned that as well. After a few days I put two and two together. One packet of frontline has only 3 treatment, one packet of advantix has 4. One packet of frontline retails about 54 dollars, one packet of advantix retails about 65. Advantix offers protection against fleas, ticks, larvae, eggs AND mosquitoes. Frontline offers all the above EXCEPT mosquitoes. One packet of Advantix cost your about 65 dollars. One packet of frontline, combined with heartworm preventative for mosquitoes comes out to well over 100 dollars, including the vet visit fee. When you buy 2 frontline with that package, it'll be close to 200 dollars. It's to help your pets, but first and foremost it is a business they're running. So once again, in my own opinion, I will trust the consumer's judgment first.

Over time, fleas develop resistance to certain insecticides. Your vet will know which ones and suggest a safe alternative. Ask your vet which one he/she uses on his/her pets. Asking your neighbor or cousin is anecdotal at best. Posted on 06/23/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By goombah (Guest Post) Take your veterinarian's advice.

Posted on 06/23/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By Corine (Guest Post) I recently got a kitten and it was infested with fleas that I did not realize until we got home and I found a flea on me! So upon careful inspection I found a ton on my kitten. Here is the homemade remedies I used and still do and they work WONDERS! I had heard rave reviews on Dawn Dish soap and Apple Cider Vinegar. I decided to give both a try. I went and bought a bottle of each at a local grocery store. I bought and used and still do use the blue Dawn Ultra Concentrated Power Plus. The first thing I did was make a mixture of lukewarm water and apple cider vinegar in a big pour jug. I put 1/2 cup of the vinegar into the jug and then filled it with lukewarm water. I set that aside within my reach in the bathroom where I was washing kitty. I filled the tub with luke warm water enough to wash the kitten in. I took the Blue Dawn Dishwashing liquid and before getting kitty wet I placed a ring of it around her neck and rubbed it in. I did this to prevent the fleas from scurrying to her head when I put kitty in the water and that's where the fleas will run to. But by putting the ring of dawn around her neck this prevented the fleas from surrying to her head. I then got kitty wet and placed the dawn directly onto her and worked up a good lather. I washed her for a good 10 minutes. You wouldn't believe the amount of fleas that fell off her and they were DEAD fleas! The Dawn worked to kill the fleas. After 10 minutes of lathering her I took a very fine tooth comb and ran it through her to get the remaining fleas off her. They were ALL DEAD! Then I rinsed her with clean lukewarm water. After I rinsed her I took the apple cider and water I had mixed in the jug and slowly poured it all over kitty to ensure I got every part of her except her eye area, nose area and the inside of her ears. I DID NOT RINSE THE APPLE CIDER AND WATER OFF HER. This formula helps to repel the fleas. They dislike the scent of apple cider vinegar. I also put a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in her drinking water to also assist in repelling fleas. All this worked to kill the fleas and to keep new fleas from attacking her. Now the only thing I have to figure out is how to kill the eggs and larvae. But until then I will bathe kitty once a week in both the Dawn and the Apple Cider Vinegar to help kill any lingering fleas and to repel them and keep them under control. THIS DOES WORK! and it does not harm kitty at all and does not irritate her or anything. The picture I have included is of my kitty and her name is Precious! I named her precious because that's what she is. Posted on 06/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By (Guest Post) Someone said she used Dawn in her steam cleaner. I'd think that would be bad for the carpet and make it sticky and harder to clean the next time. Has anyone had any experience getting rid of fleas when using vinegar in a steam cleaner? Posted on 06/08/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By Nolasandy (Guest Post) I have been using a "new" flea deterrant that the vet gave me for my Bichon called Vectra 3D. It is pretty new. It keeps the eggs from hatching and I think it is working great! I haven't seen a flea on her for 3 months and we have been in the country visiting as well. Also, I don't know about the Dawn per say, but I personally think any good shampoo, or whatever, works because I think the fleas on her just drown. If you soak your dog up real good and keep the shampoo on a few minutes, then rinse real good, they usually all die. But try the Vectra. So far, I haven't seen even one flea, and she was covered. I was getting ready to spray my whole house. I was really frustrated. Posted on 06/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dawn Dishsoap For Fleas By wvrdnkwmn (86) Profile Blog! Contact you can use generic lemon dish liquid , the trick is to lather and massage into your pet and try to leave on as long as possible 5 min. or more if your pet is patient, this works, thats all I use now, the Frontline and Advantage that my groomer uses doesn't work but the dish liquid DOES!!!
