    You can look them up on the bottle at the show this weekend and
    see.  I think that they put that phrase on them to protect themselves
    in case a cat has some unusual reactions.  Then they can say that
    the owner didn't "use only as directed".  I don't believe that the
    Pearlescent Grooming shampoo is a flea product.  The Mycodex Flea
    Shampoo that I got samples of said Flea Shampoo on the label.

    Thanks for reminding me.  Gee, I forgot all about checking it out
    at the show, what a dunce huh.
    
    I was going to use this stuff on Carrie and see if it help make
    her coat shine a little.  She's shiney up around her head and shoulders
    but loses the shine further back.
                                                
    Rathole alert:   (also known is slightly straying from the topic)
    
    Speaking of bathing Carrie.  What a blast.  She fought me tooth
    and nail (I have the sliced finger to prove it) when I tried to
    clip her nails so I clipped what I could and took a chance on bathing
    her.  Had to keep dodging her paws as she tried to grab onto my
    clothes and pull herself out of the water.  I had to bathe her though,
    I couldn't bathe my cats and let her run around getting rid of her
    fleas on my clean show kitties.
    
    Boy did I hear it from Bailey when I bathed her this time.  Usually
    she just meows at me pitifully.  This time she growled through claw
    clipping, growled through the bath and growled when I was blow drying
    her.  Unappreciative little feline.  I think she was miffed at Carrie
    for chasing her down the hall in crab mode.  Crab mode is pretty
    cute on little kittens but Carrie is by no means little and is a
    little more intimidating when she does that.

    I'm guessing you've got your answer by now.  If you don't, drop
    me E-MAIL.  That stuff works wonders.  My kitties have never been 
    so clean!!!  What beauties they are basking in the sun!

    Well, I forgot to check the bottles at Pro-Vet while I was at the
    show so I still don't have directions for using the shampoo.  If
    you have the information available please send me the instructions
    for use.
    
    Thanks!

    Mycodex Pearlescent Grooming Shampoo was recommended to me by my vet
    for use on my Maltese dog who has sensitive skin but requires bathing
    every 10 days (due to the Maltese coat, they require LOTS of grooming). 
    The vet informed me it works especially well for on the "white" coat
    and he was absolutely correct.
    
    I've used the product sucessfully for 3 years now with no skin
    irritations and he comes out unbelievably white & soft.
    
    The only precautions are as follows:
    
    It is highly concentrated -- a little goes a long way.  I wet the dog
    "first", then squirt a little on, lather, squirt more on as necessary
    etc.  If you use too much you'll be "rinsing" forever :-)
    
    The only precautons are to be careful around the eyes, try to avoid
    getting the shampoo in the eyes if at all possible. It also states "not
    to be taken internally" like any product.  It also says to rinse the
    animal thoroughly after washing.  My Maltese takes his baths
    well, so neither of these have been a problem for me.
    
    I've never used this product on a cat, however, so I can't comment on
    the results.
