Recently a small, feeding dog with puppies was thrown to our house. I took them home, otherwise they would not have survived in the damp and in the rain.How many puppies had fleas, just did not pass, the skin was all red, inflamed, they constantly cried. I bought Dr. Zoo, bought the puppies and mother, the tool helped well. In the evening my players slept in a calm and deep sleep.

In the summer we go to the country, we take with us dogs, a taxi and a spaniel. Before leaving, I bathe them with Bars shampoo, it helps for about a week, then I have to wear a collar, otherwise fleas can then be removed and it is very difficult to bathe animals every week.
