Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

["Wahl's Flea & Tick Repelling shampoo uses rosemary, cedar, and peppermint oils as its active ingredients, positioning it as a natural repellent rather than a pesticide-based killer like some medicated flea shampoos. It's labeled alcohol free, paraben free, and PEG-80 free, and also marketed as allergen free.", "At $9.83 for 24 fluid ounces, it's priced a little above Wahl's other shampoos in this lineup, reflecting the added flea and tick repelling ingredients. It also carries a conditioning benefit alongside the repelling function, and Wahl backs it with the same 1 year limited warranty as its other shampoos.", "With 2,035 ratings holding a 4.4 average and roughly 1,000 bought in the past month, it's a smaller seller than Wahl's top shampoos, and the slightly lower rating compared to the brand's other lines is consistent with flea and tick shampoos generally being harder to get uniformly great reviews on, since results vary more with pest severity."]

Performance notes

The liquid formula relies on rosemary, cedar, and peppermint oils to repel fleas and ticks, a different approach from pesticide-active shampoos that kill pests on contact. Being alcohol free, paraben free, and PEG-80 free keeps the formula simpler, and it's positioned to double as a conditioning wash rather than a strictly medicated treatment.

What buyers say

With 2,035 ratings averaging 4.4 stars and about 1,000 bought in the past month, this is a smaller seller within Wahl's shampoo lineup, and its slightly lower average compared to the brand's top sellers lines up with the more variable results owners tend to report from natural, repellent-based flea and tick products.
