My puppy has a tick. Is dry shampoo effective for tick prevention?

Question

My shih Tzu puppy is 70 days old... We found a tick in him... So can we give him a bath with dry shampoo to prevent it as we can't go out and get tick spray due to corona virus? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | 2 months and 10 days old

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

You can certainly give him a bath with the dry shampoo but that it not likely to prevent more ticks from getting on him. I suggest you order this Fiprotic online and have it delivered to your house if you cannot go out. Anti-tick shampoos and sprays are not that effective. You can use them temporarily but they are not good long term. https://www.petsworld.in/all4pets-fiprotic-plus-spot-on-for-dogs-upto-10-kg.html
