Animology Flea & Tick Shampoo is a 250ml soothing dog shampoo that helps wash out fleas and ticks from the coat while caring for irritated skin. Enriched with tea tree and neem oil, with built-in conditioner and Pro-Vitamin B5, it cleans, conditions, and soothes in one easy-rinse application. Essential seasonal care for working gundogs and any dog regularly exposed to long grass and woodland.
Why We Recommend It
Gundogs are among the highest-risk dogs for flea and tick exposure — they spend their working lives in exactly the kind of habitat these parasites thrive in. Animology Flea & Tick Shampoo is a practical, affordable addition to your seasonal care routine that helps remove parasites at bath time while soothing any skin irritation they've caused. The tea tree and neem oil combination is well-established for its soothing and repellent properties, and the easy rinse formula means the whole process is quick and stress-free. At under £5 in peak season, it's a no-brainer.
Key Benefits
- Washes out fleas and ticks — effective parasite removal at bath time
- Tea tree oil — natural soothing and repellent properties
- Neem oil — soothes irritated, bitten skin and supports coat health
- Pro-Vitamin B5 and built-in conditioner — strengthens and conditions the coat
- Easy rinse formula — minimal bath time, maximum effectiveness
- Mild deep-cleaning action — removes dirt and odour without stripping essential oils
Right. Ticks. We need to talk about ticks. I spend a lot of time in long grass doing important work, and the tick situation in summer is frankly unacceptable. I do not enjoy finding them, Craig does not enjoy removing them, and nobody wins. This shampoo is part of the solution — the tea tree and neem oil actually smell quite pleasant, the rinse is quick, and I emerge both clean and considerably less hospitable to unwanted passengers. My friends, if your dog works in the field in summer, this is not optional. Get it. 🐾

How To Use
Wet your dog's coat thoroughly with warm water. Apply a generous amount of Flea & Tick Shampoo and work into a lather from the neck down, paying particular attention to areas where fleas and ticks commonly hide — around the ears, neck, groin, and between the toes. Leave the lather on for 2–3 minutes to allow the formula to work, then rinse thoroughly. The easy rinse formulation clears quickly with minimal effort. Towel dry or use a low-heat dryer. For best results during flea and tick season, use regularly as part of your post-session grooming routine. Always check your dog for ticks after field work and remove any found promptly with a tick removal tool.

- Check the expiry date before use
- This shampoo helps remove parasites at bath time but is not a veterinary treatment — consult your vet for a comprehensive flea and tick prevention programme
Professional Insight
Flea and tick management for working gundogs requires a layered approach — a vet-prescribed preventative treatment, regular coat checks after field work, and a supportive grooming routine that includes a shampoo like this one. The tea tree and neem oil in this formula have well-documented soothing and mild repellent properties, making it a useful addition to the toolkit rather than a standalone solution. The key habit to build is checking your dog thoroughly after every session in long grass or woodland — ticks attach quickly and the sooner they're removed, the lower the risk of disease transmission.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Build a post-session tick check into your routine as a non-negotiable — run your hands through your dog's coat, paying particular attention to the ears, neck, groin, armpits, and between the toes. Do this every time after field work during spring, summer, and autumn. The earlier a tick is found and removed, the lower the risk. A dog that's used to being handled all over from puppyhood will make this check quick and stress-free.

FAQs
Does this shampoo kill fleas and ticks?
Animology Flea & Tick Shampoo helps wash out fleas and ticks from the coat during bathing. It is not a veterinary insecticide treatment. For comprehensive flea and tick prevention, use alongside a vet-recommended parasite prevention programme.
How often should I use it during flea and tick season?
During peak season (spring through autumn), using this shampoo every 2–4 weeks as part of your regular grooming routine is a practical approach. The gentle formula makes it safe for regular use.
Is it safe for puppies?
We recommend consulting your vet before using any flea and tick product on puppies, as age and weight thresholds vary. For young puppies, always seek veterinary guidance on parasite prevention.
Do I still need to use a tick removal tool after bathing?
Yes — always check your dog thoroughly for ticks after field work and remove any found with a proper tick removal tool. Bathing helps dislodge and wash away parasites but a manual check remains essential, particularly after time in long grass or woodland.
