Side Effects
F-Shield Natural Herbal Shampoo may cause mild side effects in some dogs. The most common reactions include temporary skin irritation, mild redness, or itching, especially if the pet has sensitive skin. This shampoo contains natural oils like peppermint, clove, and rosemary, which may trigger mild allergic reactions in rare cases.
More serious side effects are rare but may occur if the shampoo gets into the pet’s eyes or is accidentally swallowed. Contact with the eyes can cause discomfort, redness, or excessive tearing. If it’s ingested, dogs may experience drooling, vomiting, or stomach upset. Pet owners should seek veterinary attention if serious symptoms develop or persist.
