Dawn Dishwashing Liquid?

Question

I have see SO many questions about Dawn removing fleas from animals that i visited their site www.dawn-dish.com,,,it washes dishes, cuts grease (suspends) for removal,,,it says "all dawn products are formulated for DISHWASHING" , it is not recommended on hair washing, but is used for removing heavy oil on AQUATIC animals and is a sponsor of the International Bird Rescue Research...

Dawn does not advertise their soap as a flea remover..it IS NOT good for the animals skin..

If you use a flea comb or pick the fleas off the animal and put them into a bowl of ANY DISHWASHING LIQUID, they will weighted down by the soap and eventually drown..

The only time my vet told me to use dawn on my cat is if she gets Covered in Grease, and ONLY then, to dampen a washcloth with a small amount of Warm Water mixed with DAWN and wipe the grease off..she said Do not immerse the cat in the soap and water.

Make your own conclusions, i am going by their website and my vets recommendations...

My vet actually did recommend I use Dawn on my kittens who were too young to be treated with flea treatment. There are still alive and kicking at over 1 year old now. I do agree people should check with their own vets before using any products of any kind.

I work at a vet and we will also tell people to use dawn dish soap on a kitten or puppy that is too small for harsh flea shampoos.  If not used in the animals eyes it is a perfectly safe alternative and it works.  I would not however recommend you to bathe your animals in it constantly because then it will dry out the skin and fur.
