Yes, the Tropiclean Flea and Tick is entirely safe for dogs. The product has been manufactured completely using all-natural ingredients, which are safe for a dog's skin.

The shampoo also has ingredients like cocoa to soothe any irritation caused by the stronger ones.

The Tropiclean Flea and Tick shampoo is a good product for dogs since it eliminates the need for harsh chemicals to get rid of pests like fleas and ticks. The product is made of essential oils that kill on contact and repels for a week. Moreover, there are soothing ingredients like glycerin to moisturise and cleanse the skin at the same time.

Additionally, the shampoo has naturally-derived Sodium Lauryl Sulfate that helps clean the dog's skin's residual flea dust and debris.

Yes, dog shampoo is usually very thick and doesn't work up enough lather if used in its original consistency. It's a must for the dog parent to dilute the dog shampoo by about 25 percent before showering your dog. This will help the shampoo spread and lather nicely and get into its skin. To do this, take some shampoo in an empty bottle and add water little by little until you get the right consistency. However, don't dilute them when it comes to medicated shampoos like Tropiclean natural flea and tick shampoo. Diluting medicated shampoo will cause the potency of the ingredients to reduce. As such, the shampoo will be of no use, and your dog might still have or catch new fleas of ticks.

Puppies have susceptible skin that can get irritated very quickly and should be protected like anything. For this reason, puppies are not given baths until they reach a certain age, and even after, dogs shouldn't be bathed more than once a month. This is to ensure that their skin retains the necessary oil and doesn't get scratchy or itchy. However, natural oils based flea and tick shampoos are deemed safe for dogs and puppies aged 12 years and over. The essential oils ingredients take care of the pests; glycerine replenishes the skin, and the cocoa soothes the skin and protects from any irritation.

Since the Tropiclean Dog Flea shampoo is made of naturally derived essential oils and skin-soothing ingredients, it's deemed safe for routine use on dogs, puppies of age 12 weeks and older, and even cats by some. However, Tropiclean itself discourages pet parents from using this shampoo on cats. This is because of the meticulous self-grooming habits of cats and the resulting higher probability of allergic reaction to the ingredients of this shampoo.

The directions on the official website of Tropiclean states that the shampoo must be used from head to tail thoroughly for it to be effective. The same instructions mention that pet parents must avoid shampoo from getting into the eyes of their pets. However, that's more of a precaution than a warning. Tropiclean also mentions that shampoo is tear-free and shouldn't cause any discomfort for your pet. To be safe, it's better to rinse the eyes if shampoo goes into them.

This makes it very safe to give regular baths to the dog without causing any dry skin issues and irritation in dogs and young puppies. The shampoo is formulated to provide clean and luxurious lather with general and tropical ingredients.
