Bars (shampoo) for dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, reviews from veterinarians and breeders

Ectoparasites are a serious problem for pets. After all, a flea bite not only causes great discomfort to the animal, but often causes an allergic reaction and serious diseases. Today the market is replete with a mass of anti-parasitic drops for dogs, cats and other pets, differing not only in appearance, but also in their composition. One of the mildest and least toxic methods of control is Bars flea shampoo.

Composition and properties.

Zooshampoo contains clove extract, lavender essential oil, as well as excipients (sodium laureth sulfate, glycerin, allantoin, cocamidopropyl betaine, soybean oil fatty acid diethanolamides, sorbitol, sodium chloride, citric acid, methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone, as well as distilled water). In appearance, zoo shampoo is a transparent gel-like liquid from colorless to light yellow. Mixes with water in any ratio. The clove extract and lavender essential oil contained in the zoo shampoo have a repellent effect. Glycerin and allantoin have moisturizing, softening and anti-inflammatory properties, have a regulating effect on the natural hydrobalance of the skin, and eliminate dryness and flaking. By activating metabolic processes in the hair follicles, they help restore the protective functions of the epidermis, improve the structure of the hair, facilitate combing and prevent tangling of the hair, and eliminate dandruff.

Application technique

If you find fleas on your pets, you must immediately begin removing the parasites, since such blood-sucking insects cause great harm to animals. Cats begin to feel unwell, itch constantly, and dogs may even whine. Animal fur is actively falling out, losing its elasticity and shine. Also, your pets will develop bald patches on their bodies. If no measures are taken in time, up to 200 parasites can settle on one pet.

Before using this shampoo, you should familiarize yourself with the technology of the procedure. It is necessary to place the animal in a bath or basin, wet its fur, apply the product (3 ml of shampoo is needed for 1 kg of pet), distribute it evenly over the surface of the skin, hold for about 2-3 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. At the end of this process, you need to thoroughly dry the wool with a hairdryer or towel. If necessary, the processing must be repeated.

Note that cats do not like water treatments and often run away from the bathroom. In no case should this be allowed, since it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the substance from the fur so that the animal cannot lick the drug. Veterinarians recommend that after washing with anti-flea shampoo, put on a strap based on essential oils on your pet. This will allow you to consolidate the result.

Remains of the drug must be stored in closed packaging in a dark place. The air temperature should be a maximum of +25°C.

• May 29, 2022 at 11:22 pm I’ll tell you how we bathed Pushka. We bathed with Bars shampoo. In general, bathing is a daily ritual for my dog, especially his paws. Fluff has long been accustomed to it and rushes into the bath straight from the doorway, because he himself likes to splash in warm water and catch streams of water from the shower with his mouth. We usually use two types of shampoo - for long-haired dogs (so that there are no problems with combing later) and for paws (so that the hair and skin are not ruined by daily washing with detergent, and for paws the shampoo is very gentle). And so I had to buy “Bars” because they missed the date of the new treatment with flea drops and immediately these parasites attacked Pushka.

It is almost impossible to catch nimble fleas in long fur, and it is also pointless, because they jump on a dog exclusively for food, and breed on the floor and in upholstered furniture. Before applying drops to the withers, we decided to first remove the parasites, because the drops do not act instantly, and the Fluff was already all gone. I bought Bars shampoo at the veterinary pharmacy because we have drops with the same name. The shampoo turned out to be very good, although it does not smell like the daily shampoo because it got the fleas out of the fur right away. And then I washed the fleas from the bedding and on the floor with a solution of the same shampoo in water. And also successful. In addition to the real effectiveness of the shampoo in removing fleas, I liked two more points - firstly, the shampoo did not injure the dog’s fur and skin, and secondly, the cost of the shampoo is still low, it does not bother me in terms of expenses, and this is also important for me. In general, the shampoo is effective and economical. Good buy. I was satisfied.

• October 7, 2015 at 21:38 Veterinary pharmacies sell a lot of different shampoos with the effect of repelling fleas from the fur of cats and dogs, but from experience I can say that most of them, if effective, usually have a disgusting, persistent chemical odor. Well, those shampoos that are fragrant do not help against parasites from the word “absolutely”. We buy flea collars from the Bars brand for our cat and our two Pekingese dogs, so we decided to try the same shampoo - we were happy with the collars. Once a month we bathe our cat; she is surprisingly fond of taking warm baths. We try to wash our dogs a little less often, once every month and a half, and a little more often in the summer. The leopard suits us quite well for this purpose, it drives away fleas, cleans the fur and skin of dust, the smell is quite digestible - I recommend it. Reply[x] Cancel reply

• September 30, 2015 at 11:19 pm I have a dog named Bucks, an English bulldog breed, a breed that is problematic in both nutrition and care.
The biggest problem is parasites - Bucks is allergic to flea bites and almost immediately after a flea gets on his body he begins to develop flea dermatitis. Almost all drops against fleas and ticks cause allergies in Bucks; only plant-based drops are suitable - the dog does not have an allergy from them, but fleas do not die from such drops. While choosing another drug, I saw Bars shampoo - it consists of natural ingredients and is a preventive measure for the appearance of external parasites. I bought this shampoo because I bathe often in the summer anyway. The shampoo hardly foams and has a specific herbal smell - to be honest, I generally doubted that it could help. But ten days have passed and it’s time for the next bath, and Bucks still doesn’t have fleas. In general, over the entire summer, Bax got fleas only once, there weren’t many of them and I got them out with plant-based drops, and as a preventive measure all this time I used Bars shampoo, which I used to bathe Bak every 10-12 days. I am happy with the shampoo and will continue to use it. Reply Sources

How to choose the right flea shampoo

On sale you can find various drugs for pets against ectoparasites. They are produced in the form of shampoos, drops, spray or in the form of a collar.

Flea shampoo is considered one of the most gentle and effective remedies. Experienced cat breeders emphasize the advantages of this remedy over other methods of getting rid of fleas. Shampoos are reasonably priced and can be used on animals with sensitive skin and a tendency to allergic reactions.

The anti-flea agent must be used in a certain dosage and taking into account both the age of the cat and its body weight.

Most shampoos are safe for kittens and pregnant cats, have a prolonged effect, cleanse the pet’s fur and skin, ridding it of blood-sucking insects. After treatment, the cat’s fur becomes silky, and a barrier is formed against infection by ectoparasites.

There are pet care products that have therapeutic or preventive purposes. Medicated shampoos contain insecticides that kill parasites.

Preventive products contain a high percentage of non-toxic ingredients and essential oils, which create a kind of protective barrier, repelling fleas and ticks. Flea shampoos for cats can be liquid with the consistency of detergents, or dry, in the form of a fine powder, which must be sprinkled on the cat's fur, followed by thorough combing.

When choosing a flea treatment for a cat, it is important to take into account the age of the pet, since shampoo for kittens contains a smaller amount of insecticide, as well as special additives that are designed to care for the delicate skin of a kitten.

A product used on an adult cat may cause toxicity in a kitten. Shampoos are also used with caution for pregnant cats.

Medicinal shampoo containing insecticides can be used if your pet is severely infested. You need to choose a product taking into account the length of your cat’s fur and the characteristics of its skin.

When purchasing a flea product for your furry pet, you need to pay attention to the presence of additional functions, as well as the effectiveness of the product, composition, bottle volume and cost. Before using a medicated shampoo, it is important to consult a veterinarian and read reviews from other cat owners.

When purchasing, you should pay attention to the expiration date of the drug.

Application principle

Bathing a dog

Zoo shampoo is applied to the pet's wet fur with light rubbing movements to form a foamy mass, which is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the body. After 2-3 minutes, the foam is washed off with warm running water. At the end of the water procedure, the animal’s fur must be dried and combed.

If your pet's fur is overly infested with parasites, shampoo treatment should be repeated.

You can purchase Bars pet shampoo at any veterinary clinic or store in Moscow.
