flea dip
Antiparasitic pet soak
A flea dip is a liquid insecticide solution used to kill fleas on pets, typically applied by immersing or sponging the animal rather than rinsing it off.
The term also refers to the treatment process itself: The dog needs a flea dip.
Largely replaced by spot-on treatments and oral medications.
