Fido's Flea Shampoo is a soap-free, pleasant-smelling shampoo for dogs and cats that controls fleas and lice on contact. It's a long-running Australian product designed for owners who want a wash-and-treat option without using a dedicated spot-on treatment.

The active ingredients are pyrethrins (1g/L) and piperonyl butoxide (10g/L) — a classic flea and lice combination that knocks down adult parasites on contact. The shampoo lathers gently, which suits sensitive skin, and rinses out cleanly. It's labelled for use on dogs, cats, puppies and kittens, but always check the label for the specific age and species clearance before use. Available in a 5L bulk bottle, sized for kennels, breeders or households with multiple pets.

Fido's has been a standby in Australian pet shops for decades. The flea shampoo isn't a substitute for ongoing parasite prevention — fleas in the environment will reinfest within days — but it's the right product when you need to break the immediate cycle quickly during a wash, particularly on puppies and kittens where some spot-on products can't be used.
