Bearing Tick & Flea dog shampoo review: for smelly coats

Bearing Tick and Flea Dog Shampoo for Smelly Hair is a tick-and-flea wash built to deep-clean stinky coats, our pick for stubborn doggy odor at around ₱167. It holds a strong 4.9 with 10K+ sold.

What does it do?

It kills and washes off ticks and fleas while deep-cleaning a smelly coat, leaving a fresh scent that lasts. That two-in-one job is the draw: a lot of tick-and-flea washes leave a dog clean but still a bit doggy, while this one is built around odor. The scent is strong going on, nice once dry, but noticeable while you rinse, so bathe in a well-ventilated spot if strong smells bother you.

How do you use it?

Dilute it with water (about 1:1), massage into a wet coat (don’t skip the paws, since ticks love to hide between the toes) and leave about 5 minutes before rinsing. That short soak time is what lets the active ingredients work, so don’t rush it. Use it every 1–2 weeks as regular maintenance. Rinse thoroughly and dry your dog well afterward; a damp coat left to air-dry is what brings the smell back in the first place.

Is it safe to use regularly?

As a maintenance wash every 1–2 weeks, yes for most dogs. Bathing much more often than that can dry out the skin, tick-and-flea shampoo or not, so stick to the schedule unless your vet says otherwise. Do a small patch first if your dog has sensitive skin, and keep the suds out of the eyes and ears. For puppies or dogs with existing skin problems, check with a vet before starting.

Is it worth it?

Around ₱167 as of July 12, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Diluting stretches each bottle, so it’s sulit for regular anti-odor baths. The effective cost per wash is low once you factor in the 1:1 mix. For a dog that gets smelly between grooming visits, it’s a cheap way to stay on top of both odor and pests at home.

Who should buy it

Buy this if your dog gets smelly between baths and you want tick-and-flea help in one wash. For a heavy infestation, pair it with a vet-recommended treatment. See more on our Pet Supplies page.
