Pros and cons

βœ“ Pros

  • Gallon size is one of the cheapest ways per mL to bathe several dogs
  • Madre de cacao naturally repels and kills ticks and fleas

βœ— Cons

The Petcher Madre de Cacao Pet Shampoo is a 1-gallon bundle of the popular Pinoy botanical, a natural anti-tick and flea wash. At around β‚±368 it’s a sulit pick if you bathe more than one alaga, and it holds a 4.9 rating with 1,000+ sold.

What does it do?

Madre de cacao (kakawate) is a plant Filipinos have long used against ticks, fleas, and mites. Natural compounds repel and kill the pests as it cleans. A gallon is bulk size, so it lasts ages or covers a multi-dog home. Honest note: the listing is light on the ingredient list, so treat it as a grooming and pest-control wash, not a cure for a real skin infection.

Is it worth it?

Around β‚±368 as of July 12, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Per milliliter, a gallon is one of the cheapest ways to keep a multi-dog home tick- and flea-free, so it earns its sulit tag.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you have several dogs, or one big one, and want a natural, budget anti-tick and flea shampoo you won’t run out of. If your pet’s skin is raw, infected, or crusty, that’s a job for a medicated wash and a vet. See more on our Pet Supplies page.

Alternatives to consider

Want a smaller, ready-to-use tick wash instead of a gallon? The Bearing Tick & Flea dog shampoo is a single-bottle option. If the real problem is a fungal skin issue with itch, the PUAINTA Antifungal Medicated shampoo treats that and still covers ticks and fleas.
