What is a Flea Dip?

Flea dip is a topically applied flea treatment. It is very similar to flea shampoos and powders. Flea dip refers to both the treatment and how it is used. You can dip your dog in a flea treatment solution diluted with warm water to eliminate the pesky parasites if you find them in her fur. You can also use a sponge or a brush to apply the mixture to her back. Let the treatment air dry without washing it off. Concentrated insecticidal agents are included in this solution to nip flea problems in their buds.

When and how to use a Flea Dip
