Cassiel Pet essential shampoo and conditioner review

At around ₱169 as of August 12, 2026, with 2,185 Shopee ratings. Cassiel sells three of these, and picking between them is the first task.

Three bottles, twenty pesos apart

The brand’s 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner is around ₱189, and its anti-tick and flea shampoo is around ₱189 too. This one is around ₱169.

All three are described as anti-tick shampoos from the same shop, and none publishes an ingredient list, a volume or a concentration. So the differences visible from the listings are the wording and the rating counts: the 2-in-1 carries over ten thousand ratings, the other two a couple of thousand each.

On the evidence available, the cheapest one is the reasonable default and the most-rated one is the safer one. There is no third consideration, because nothing else is published.

The cat question applies to all three

Permethrin and related pyrethroids are standard in dog flea products and severely toxic to cats, which cannot metabolise them. Tremors and seizures follow, often fatally.

Any product sold as a pet shampoo rather than a dog shampoo needs its label read before it goes anywhere near a cat, and in a two-animal household a cat grooming a freshly washed dog is a real exposure route.

None of these listings publishes ingredients, so it is a question for the shop.

How often to bathe a dog

The commonest mistake with a cheap shampoo is using it too often.

Most dogs do well on a bath every four to six weeks, unless a vet has asked for a medicated schedule. Washing more strips the oils the skin and coat depend on, and dry skin itches, which produces exactly the scratching an owner then tries to wash away.

In Philippine humidity, dogs do get smelly faster, and the answer for the weeks in between is brushing, a wipe-down, or a waterless product rather than another full bath.

If a dog smells again within a day of a bath, that is a skin or ear problem and needs looking at rather than more shampoo.

A bath is not flea control

Worth repeating on any anti-tick product. A bath kills the fleas on the animal at that moment; most of the population is in the house as eggs, larvae and pupae. Real control is a vet-prescribed preventive, hot-washed bedding and thorough vacuuming.

Who this bottle suits

Buy this if you want the cheapest of the three Cassiel bottles for a dog, and you have asked what is in it.

Skip it for a cat until that is answered, and skip it as a weekly routine.

The siblings and the cat-safe alternative

For the brand’s most-bought bottle, see the Cassiel 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. For a cat, a cat-labelled product is the safer start: the Vet Remedy cat shampoo 250ml.
