My puppy had a bad reaction to flea shampoo. What should I do?

Question

Hey, We recently purchased Sergeant Oatmeal puppy flea shampoo. I followed the guidelines on the bottle and rinsed the shampoo off. My dog started acting a bit weird, rubbing head into our pillows etc. I googled the brand and came across a lot of bad reviews saying their pets had problems after using this brand. He seems to be acting normal now but I thought Id ask just encase. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 10 days old | 5 lbs

Most of these flea shampoos often do more damage than good, i recommend not to use any of them, instead use high quality flea treatments such as Advantage spot on or Bravecto tablets. it doesn't sound like Archie got too bad of a reaction though, he should be fine.
