Quality ingredients, but a thousand alarming warning labels about exposure.
However, the oatmeal content actually makes things rather pleasant.

I’ve been battling a horrible flea infestation for over a month now. I bathe my cat and dog every other day with Dawn dish soap and their regular shampoos (Wahl for my dog and Furminator for my cat) and even took them to the groomers for a flea bath. I applied topical medication on each of them (Frontline for my dog and Advantage II for my cat). I’ve vacuumed, mopped, sprayed insecticide and IGR, and laundered everything almost daily, but it seems as though I’ve been fighting a losing battle. Despite everything, I would still find dozens of fleas on their bodies (immediately after their baths), and my poor pets are scratching themselves raw. I’m sure all the baths and chemicals are drying out their skin too (they certainly are for my hands!).
I have to say this shampoo was a nice relief for my pets. I soaped up my pets for 5 minutes with Dawn dish soap and rinsed. Then I repeated with the Adams shampoo (5 minute lather and rinse thoroughly). The shampoo had a really nice lather. I followed directions and only used 3 tablespoons of shampoo for my 15lb dog and 2 tablespoons for my cat. I thought the volume of shampoo would not be enough but the shampoo was so thick, that it was more than sufficient. Fleas floated away with the rinse. The smell has a soft, powder scent which reminds me of the scent of the groomer’s regular shampoo. After rinsing, there was almost a greasy residue on their fur, which I’m sure is soothing for their dry skin.
***UPDATE (3 weeks later): I’ve been solely using this shampoo now, and I have been regularly giving my pets weekly baths (with a 5-minute soak). A month has passed, so I reapplied the same brand of topical anti-flea/tick medicine. My dog has had the topical on for about 1 week and my cat for only 48hours. I just gave them a third bath with the Adams shampoo and I only found about 5-6 fleas on each of them. Every week I bathe my pets, the water runs red from all the flea dirt on them, but this time the water was clear! There has been minimal itching and scratching during the week, so I know the shampoo is helping. An added benefit is that their coats look so much healthier and softer. My white dog’s coat is bright and white. The powder smell lasts through the week too, so they continue smelling nice, well past the bath. I cut down vacuuming and laundering their bedding to 1x/week because the cleaning has been overwhelming. The temperature has dropped this week to below freezing and the gas heat has been on. I know humidity impacts the growth of fleas, so I’m not sure if one particular thing or the combination of everything has been making the difference, but what matters is that the flea count is dwindling…finally!
I would highly recommend this shampoo, but I suggest using gloves because it can be very drying on the hands. Very few products are both cat and dog friendly too, so that is an added benefit when you have both.
***UPDATE (4 months later): So fleas are officially gone! I believe they’ve been gone since late December/early January. After the last update, I gradually reduced the baths to every other week and kept my pets updated on their monthly flea/tick medication. As I said before, I’m not sure what exactly did the trick but I believe this shampoo was a major contributor to the solution! I actually stocked up on this shampoo because my husband and I love it so much!
***UPDATE (7 months later): It’s been well past the scourge of fleas in our home (THANK GOODNESS), but I just wanted to rave about this product some more. I bathed my my long-haired Persian cat with this shampoo recently and he still smells great- weeks later! Also, I love how it conditions his fur. I didn’t even use conditioner and his fur is full, soft, and mat free!

I bought this because I really wanted a dog shampoo that came with a pump but even though it says “pump included” and the picture shows that it has one, my bottle came in without a pump.
