We recently brought a puppy home from the SPCA and she was covered in fleas & some ticks. After bathing her a couple of times she is free of the nasty things. The smell is great and her coat is so soft and shiny. I think she likes even more than I do.

Of all the shampoos and conditioners I've used, this product works very well. Smells nice, not strong. Cleans coat well without irration and condition leaves coat soft. My 8 mo. old Golden likes it and it leaves him looking "sparkling" clean with less shedding. I would recommend this product. You can also dilute it for use.

As soon as I washed my dog with these products I received compliments on how good she smells and how glossy her coat is. I referred an acquaintance to this website because she has a sensitive dog. I am delighted, as is my dog, that I no longer have to use Frontline.

I give my dog a bath whenever he spends spends time at daycare or in the company of other dogs. In the past, he has brought fleas back to the house. However, we haven't had a single problem this season.

I just tried this for the first time and really liked it. My Boston Terrier's skin tends to get dry and flaky after baths and this didnt do that to him. It smells great like patchouli and seemed to wash away any debris off the fur. However, for tick/flea prevention this should be used as part of a system- as its not a strong enough product to use alone. I used it with the Herbal Defense Spray and it seems to do the trick.

I began using this Herbal Defense shampoo along with the conditioner and spray about a month ago in an attempt to go a more natural route in preventing fleas & ticks this year. I also give the ONPS brand brewers yeast & garlic tabs. So far so good! I find that the combination of products has definitely been repelling ticks very well, but it hasn't truly been tested against fleas since it's not quite warm enough for them to be in full effect yet. I have also noticed it helps a lot at repelling flies as well! Normally on a hot day flies will land on my dogs and hitch a ride, but with this stuff they won't even land on them. It does have an herbally/slightly citronella like smell to it, but honestly it is not bad at all. I normally HATE smells like that but I don't mind it at all and I sleep with my 2 dogs who I use it on every night. It makes their fur softer than any other shampoo we've used too.

We use it spring through summer, and put no other flea treatment on our dogs. We use natural products on the carpet and yard in the spring, and we are good to go!

THIS IS THE BEST SHAMPOO I HAVE EVER USED. I HAVE BEEN A PET OWNER FOR 50 YEARS AND IT REALLY DOES THE BEST FOR MY THREE YORKIES WE HAVE.

Smell great on cats after. Easy to use.
I used both products on 3 cats. Fleas fell off in tub; nice smell and easy to use. Smell lasted
for several days. Cats only objected to the
water!

I used this on my Akita at the first sign of fleas starting to make little colonies. Worked great, especially if you re-bath again in 3-5 days.

Works great even in the flea & tick capital of the world, Miami. Makes my Sheltie's fur very soft & shiny.

I have used this product on my 2 Chihauhaus with great success. We do alot of camping and I have younger children that are always kissing and holding the dogs so I did not want to use a chemical like Frontline. I knew natural oils work at repelling fleas and insects so I decided to give this a try. Great product - works great, smells good. I used in conjunction with the Brewers Yeast tablets and the Herbal Spray (the spray has a strong scent that will take a while to wear off, but works great.) No more fleas and ticks!
from Santa Cruz, Ca on 10/4/2007
I love the way this shampoo smells. I love that it has no harsh chemicals. It works great, but it won't control the fleas all by itself. You'll have to use it with some other form of flea remedy.

The best shampoo and conditioner I have ever used,
especially for my 2 sensitive skin goldens, my golden with more hair than God. Living in the FL Keys with the aboundance of fleas, ticks, and coral dust, a great shampoo is essential. This is the one!

I have two dogs a chihuahua and a dacshund. The shamooo and conditioner were ok but did not help repel fleas or mosquitos at all--not even for a day. I am disappointed. I would not buy this product again.
from Boynton Beach, Florida on 8/12/2007
This conditioner is a great compliment to the shampoo. It left my silky coat yorkies with hair that was more manageable and soft. It also smelled great while it worked with the shampoo to keep away the fleas without the side effects of insecticides.
from Boynton Beach, Florida on 8/12/2007
I have 4 yorkies with different types of coats. This shampoo left their coats soft and manageable. They smelled great and got rid of the fleas fast. I also purchased the conditioner and spray which enhances the effects of the shampoo. I live in Florida where fleas and other bugs are a constant problem. With these products I no longer have to rely on dangerous insecticides with all the side affects. Even my yorkie with allergies fared better with this product.

I was pleasantly surprised how un-herbally smelling this was since I am not a huge fan of that smell. It also kept all three of my dogs flea and tick free even after running through fields and forests. I stopped using Frontline and started using this along with the garlic/yeast tablets and there hasn't been a sign of any yucky pests or parasites.
from Indianapolis, IN on 7/23/2007
I like how it works in combination with the conditioner. Makes their fur very soft, smells very clean.
from Arcadia, CA on 7/20/2007
These products ROCK! The Shampoo and Conditioner pack a one-two punch in the war against fleas. Very gentle to the dogs, yet effective! And, what the site does not tell you, these are excellent products in their own right - I have been extremely pleased with how beautiful my long coat chihuahuas look after using these products. As good as the "high end" grooming products.
Highly effective against fleas, smells great, and leaves the coat looking beautiful. What could be better?
from San Jose, CA on 7/16/2007
Clean flea free dog. Happy owner.
from San Diego on 7/13/2007
This is a very nice product. It is a little pricy, and I am glad that I have chihuahua's. The sent is great. The dogs also love it.
from Salem, VA on 7/12/2007
Our dachsie's, Snickers and Baby Ruth, have had great results with the shampoo and have just started using the conditioner. I use this in conjunction with the spray when I brush them. We live in the country where fleas and ticks are bad but the girls never have a flea on them and hardly ever have a tick. Great stuff!

After a really horrible horrible allergic reaction that my 9 1/2 year old dog suffered from Advantix..and after using Advantage for years and looking for something else...I stumbled across this website and thought I might try a natural approach....I was VERY skeptical....however this stuff really works and as an added extra my furry guys coat was soooooo soft and the smell is an herbal one...so if you like a fresh herbal scent...then you will love this....
I am very happy with the results!!!

We have gone through many bottles of this shampoo in our rescue group! It is the most natural we have found, works beautifully, and leaves them smelling like REAL essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance! We don't use it for fleas. We use it because it is excellent and SAFE!
