Bearing Formula 1 Tick And Flea Dog Shampoo For All Dogs - 3000 ml

That is the "big kahuna" of dog shampoos. If you’re looking at the 3000 ml (3 Liter) jug of Bearing Formula 1, you’re likely either a professional groomer or the proud owner of a very large, very furry pack.

Bearing is a well-known brand, particularly in Southeast Asia, praised for its effectiveness against parasites. Here is a breakdown of what you need to know about this specific formula:

Key Features

• Active Ingredient: It uses Cypermethrin, a potent insecticide that targets the nervous system of ticks and fleas on contact.

• Long-Lasting: It is designed to leave a residual effect on the coat to help prevent re-infestation for a short period after washing.

• Scent: Known for a distinct, clean fragrance that helps neutralize that "wet dog" smell.

• Economical: The 3000 ml size is significantly more cost-effective than buying multiple small bottles.

How to Use It Safely

Since this is a medicated treatment, it's not quite the same as a standard "smell good" bath. To get the best results without irritating your dog:

1. Dilution is Key: Usually, you should mix 1 part shampoo with 1 part water.

2. The "Wait" Rule: For the insecticide to work, you must leave the lather on the dog for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.

    

3. Avoid the "Hot Zones": Keep the suds strictly away from the eyes, nose, mouth, and inside the ears.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure no residue remains, as dogs often lick themselves after a bath.

A Quick Word of Caution

• Age Limits: Do not use this on puppies under 3 months old or nursing/pregnant dogs.

• Skin Sensitivity: If your dog has open sores or extremely sensitive skin, this formula might be too harsh. Always do a small patch test first if you’re unsure.
