Overview
Zesty Paws' flea and tick shampoo is formulated to kill fleas, ticks, and their eggs while soothing irritated skin, using cedarwood, rosemary, and peppermint oil. It is built for dog owners dealing with an active flea or tick problem rather than as a preventive-only wash.
The shampoo is described as veterinarian formulated, though no ingredient concentrations or independent test data are included in this listing to confirm the kill claim beyond the seller's description. The essential oil blend, cedarwood, rosemary, and peppermint, doubles as the soothing component for skin already irritated by bites.

Who it's for
