Any recommendations on a good shampoo. I have French bulldog chi mix he's a brindle and he has sensitive skin and sheds a lot. Thanks.
I love HyLyte shampoo. It’s hypoallergenic and doesn’t dry out the coat. It also smells good. Brushing daily will reduce the shedding also. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Winston Bruiser.

My cats keep shedding bad I'm brushing them daily they had fleas or still do I've treated them 2 months with advantage 2 for large cats I gave them flea baths with dawn dish soap then brushed and flea combed them and picked the fleas off then 2 days
To break the flea lifecycle, you need to treat with topical or oral preventatives for at least three consecutive months. Year round treatment is recommended. Use caution when combining flea treatments to prevent toxicities. Any topical medication should be applied 2-3 days before or after a bath for maximum effect. The environment should also be treated. This includes vacuuming everywhere then disposing of the bag or emptying the canister outdoors afterwards. Wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric. Use a cat safe area treatment to prevent reinfestation. An essential fatty acid supplement can added to the diet to promote healthy skin and coat. This is usually in the form of a fish oil product such as DermCaps, EicosaCaps or Welactin. Find them at your local veterinary clinic or in the local Petco.
