Does not work
Date: October 28, 2009
"This kills fleas well while you wash the animals, but later that day or the next, the fleas are back. I have done it twice, 1 week apart. The dogs are still full of fleas. I would not use this again. My time and money would have been better spent taking them to the vet or the groomer and having it done there."

tried & tried... True!
Date: June 22, 2009
"I have had pets my entire life. Fleas are part of the bargain. Shampoos have changed over the years and this one does the BEST of all the ones I've tried. It may only last 2 or 3 weeks, but if you have dogs going in & out like mine, 2 wks is bath time at most anyway. The cheaper ones don't last more than a couple days. HINT 5 mins after complete lather b-4 rinse, don't over rinse. Wash all bedding, pretreat furn & floors with spray/powder & place light blanket on bath floor b-4. Wash towels & blanket immediatly after bath. Cold temp in house also helps, (keeps them from moving away from pesticides) They hibernate."

Smells great!
Date: September 16, 2008
"This is flea shampoo, not a miracle. If you brought your dog home with a couple of fleas this will help. If your home is infested, you need more than flea shampoo. We haven't had fleas except for once when we brought a puppy home with them. Adams took care of it and we haven't had a problem since. It's the only shampoo I have used for dogs, that leaves them smelling clean for more than a couple of hours. That being said, the price is rediculous. One small bottle may wash your dog a few times and the gallon size is $70. Come on now, I could take them to my own hair salon for that much. Still, it's the only shampoo I use on my dogs."

okay product
Date: September 12, 2007
"This worked really well to kill the fleas but is a little deceptive in what it claims to do. It does clean and deoderize and has a nice smell. It does give hair coat a brighter luster. It does NOT kill flea eggs or break the flea life cycle. It does NOT prevent flea eggs from hatching for 4 weeks. If you're just wanting something to provide immediate relief and kill fleas this works but it's not long lasting."

Worthless
Date: August 12, 2007
"After gall bladder surgery, I came home to a flea infested house. I mistakenly sent my kids out for whatever they could get to get rid of them. They bought 2 bottles of this shampoo and 7 bombs for the whole house. Besides getting my stitches ripped bathing the cats in this..twice each, washing my clothes in the rest of the shampoo, I took them with me and bombed the house for 2 1/2 hours and sprayed all the bedding with Adams spray. Cats still have fleas. I am out around $100, still sick from allergies to anasthesia, and have to take another day off to spray RFG and buy Advantage oil for them. Thanks to reviews which I could not find before, hoprfully this will be the end of it.
Pay the extra money for the Advantage, it will save you precious time in the long run. Which is worth more in my case, no matter what my condition.
