Here in Georgia, we get some seriously warm weather and with that warm weather seems to come fleas. With nearly 75% of U.S. pet households reporting at least one flea and tick infestation each year, proper care is needed to prevent outbreaks. Flea and tick outbreaks are triggered by changes in temperature and humidity, often catching families off-guard and vulnerable to infestation. This is what seems to happen every year in Georgia. We love our dogs, want to be responsible pet owners, and we want to do everything that we can to take care of them so we use these products because Adams Keeps Our Pets Free from Fleas & Ticks. We hope that this Adams Flea Shampoo for Dogs post inspires you.
One of our favorite products for helping with fleas and ticks is Adams for Dogs Flea & Tick Spot On. What I love is that it lasts for up to 30 days and prevents flea re-infestation along with killing adult fleas and ticks. By preventing re-infestation, the product kills flea eggs and larvae plus it kills and repels mosquitoes. Adams brand offers a wide variety of products so you can treat your pet, your yard, and your home. Adams™ brand does all three regularly! Here are just a few items:
We especially love the Adams Smart Shield applicator which is a breakthrough topical flea and tick control delivery device designed to work with Adams Spot On products. You can get the Smart Shield applicator for free at Walmart when you purchase Adam for Dogs Flea & Tick Spot On. The applicator makes it so much easier to apply the product to your pets and treatments cost less than most vet brands, which is always a bonus. The patented dog-applicator design is easy to grip, helps part fur for direct application to the dog’s skin (where the bugs live), and effectively keeps liquid off the hands, empowering pet owners with the confidence to apply the treatment by themselves, without a mess.
We regularly use Adams flea shampoo for our dogs. There are two main Adams Flea Shampoo for Dogs products.
Adams Flea & Tick Cleansing Shampoo kills fleas, flea eggs, ticks, and lice on dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens 12 weeks or older. It also prevents flea eggs from hatching for 30 days. The active ingredients are pyrethrins (0.60%) and piperonyl butoxide (6.00%).
Adams Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo with Precor is a sensitive skin formula that kills fleas, ticks, flea eggs, flea larvae, and lice on dogs and puppies 12 weeks or older. It also prevents flea eggs from hatching for 28 days and controls mites that may cause sarcoptic mange. The active ingredients are pyrethrins (0.30%), piperonyl butoxide (3.00%), and pyriproxyfen (0.06%).
Both shampoos are available in 12-ounce bottles. Adams Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo with Precor is also available in a 1-gallon size. Here is a table that compares the two shampoos:

Before using either shampoo, be sure to read the label carefully and follow all directions. It is also important to consult with your veterinarian before using any flea and tick shampoo on your dog, especially if your dog has any health conditions or is taking any medications. If you want to stay smart about flea and tick control, you need to treat your pets, home, and yard regularly. This helps eliminate the fleas and ticks at the source including killing the adults and the eggs. Staying vigilant means happy pets AND happy owners.

I’d definitely want to take measure to keep the pets flea and tick free. Those applicators would come in handy!
Oh my goodness, what a cute pup! Thanks for the reminder, I need to get my dog some of this flea medications!
I’ve heard that ticks are just awful this year. Anything that can help make taking care of your pets easier is pretty handy.
We are pet free for the first time in a long time because of the really young ones in the house, but in our neighborhood we’ve been told the fleas this season are out of control, so this seems like a great product for pet owners!
Thanks for the reminder! I need to get my dog his heartworm pills.
We just got a new puppy so we are taking all the precautions in protecting our little guy, especially from those pesky fleas and ticks, awesome product.
I could not imagine a flea or tick infestation and would feel horrible for any animal that had to endure something like that. Thankfully these are not a big concern in our area of the country.
I like the applicators, I’m always afraid I’m going to get it on my hands when I put it on our dog. I haven’t heard of Adams before – but telling the hubs to check it out.
The cats seldom get fleas, but this year the weather is right for it. I’ll check in on Adams products and sign up for the alert. Ticks are common in our area.
I need to look into this. We have a cat this year, so we want to keep him flea free!
ah, Georgia DOES get very warm at times. I remember that well. And it is very important to protect from ticks and fleas!
This is so important! I haven’t heard of Adams before, I will have to check them out! My 3 are on a plan, but I would love to know more about this!
Outbreaks! I think that is our state ceops… Ticks and fleas. Sounds like great products.
I always use a flea and tick product on my pets. Ticks are terrible this year in my area.
With summer on the horizon, we are all going to be spending a lot more time outdoors. Protecting our pets & yard keeps everyone in the family bite-free.
I keep hearing great things about Adams products! Fleas and ticks can be a serious pet problem!
How cool is that reusable applicator? I have used Adams yard sprays but not their actual pet products. I get mine from the vet. With my rewards and rebates I pretty much get it free these days.
It’s actually time to refill our dogs medicine. I’ll have to check this brand out.
Ok that is the cutest pic ever- It’s so important to use flea and tick control on a regular basis especially with the new ticks that carry something worse than Lyme disease (Not sure if it’s just up here).
As a former pet owner, there is nothing more annoying than fleas, especially if there is infestation! Good to know about the line of Adams products that are available to eradicate those pests (if I become an owner again).
