It's good for fleas and general cleanliness, but I also supplement my Samoyed with those skin and coat treats. I have to get more, and can't remember the brand, but I buy the stuff that comes in little brown bags. The treats themselves are small and bone-shaped, and they have a very rich smell. Charlotte gets two a day and I don't understand how it works, but after not taking for awhile it only takes two weeks of two-treats a day to see a noticeable difference in her coat! Her fur looks cleaner and shinier, there's less build up of skin oils, and her over coat is much softer.
We've used Dawn before as a flea bath and it worked amazingly! With many of the flea medicated shampoos being so harsh we didn't want to use them on our young puppy or kitten when we first got them so this was our alternative.
