Extra Strength Dog Shampoo - Supports Healthy Skin and Coat—Ideal for Dogs with Mange, Dry-Itchy Skin, hotspots and Skin Problems.

My dog was given to me by a neighbor who didnt treat him particularly well. He was kept outside during the summer and the winter, rain, shine, snow, etc. The hair on the top of his back toward his bottom was really thin, and had some gnarly looking sores/scabs around the same area. I bought this, because I didnt know if it was mange allergies or what. While my little buddy, Smith didnt enjoy the bath, his skin certainly did. I used according to the directions on the bottle, amd gave him 2 baths in a week and a half to two weeks, and it worked wonders. I still use it when I give him baths, which isnt too often...hes an inside dog now (other than the times he needs/wants to go out for the bathroom, walks, to the dog park, etc), so ive probably only gave him about 6 over the last 10 months I've had him (including the initial 2 or three in the first month). I brought him to a doctor's appointment the other day, and the manager (who has a pitbulls asked me what I feed him, because his coat is so amazing) i told her I just give him Aldi's version of dry chicken tasting food, and that im pretty sure the coat is from this shampoo. Its a little pricey, but its worth every penny. It keeps his coat clean and full without irritating his skin. Hes an adorable pitbull husky mix!

I don’t do reviews usually but this shampoo really works. Petey my son’s 80 pound puppy got mange which I haven’t seen a dog with the mange since I was a kid. It came on quickly and he lost 70% of his hair in less than a week. He was miserable. I was planning on using this shampoo a couple times a week until he was healed up. All it took was one application. He had immediate relief. The next day all the scaling was gone and all the redness also. All it took was one application. I also really liked that it was all natural. This shampoo work really well.

I been using this shampoo for a week on my 10 year old husky mix. That has never had any skin problems. But I noticed he had flaky skin and irritation and was loosing fur. The reviews definitely convinced me to buy it. And after the first use by the next day his skin irritation had definitely improved. I’ve used it 3 times with today. I did see comments on the smell. I definitely did not mind the natural oil smell. His fur did also feel very clean. My dog is over 100lbs so I did have to use a good amount plus his thick fur but it’s definitely worth it because I could immediately notice a difference.

Helped with itchiness, and scabbing. Took serval washes to heal completely. Smells ok, not horrible like other reviews I read, it has a pleasant mild scent. It’s rather expensive tho

Works fast on mites and scabies, my doggy stopped crazy itching after two baths with this amazing shampoo! Great product!

The smell could be improved an little more attention to the dry skin would be perfect to me Thank you

I've been tinkering with soothing teas to finish off my pup's bath because he has an immediate die-off reaction, heats up the water I rinse him with, and his skin is painful and flinchey after medicated baths. When I saw this, and my favorite and most effective-to-date shampoo for co-bacterial and yeast infections with the mites: Dechra TrizChlor 4 Shampoo, 8-Ounce doubled (I'm looking at YOU Amazon, I have a big dog......), and knowing how much sulfur rocks, I gave this a shot.Woah.My dog's 11, we've been at this medicated bath 2-3x/week for a few years now (never realized my home was toxic until mold split the seams and the roof leaked into the furnace, forcing us to evacuate in November when it got too cold). He waits while I put on the hose, get his towels out, decide which shampoo and/or rinse, etc. He knows he feels so much better after. But this all natural stuff is serious business. I have new respect for essential oils. With demodex and that d.gatoi "new" mite (not as deep as sarcoptic, which shampoo can't treat...but got to my cat :( ), they perform a mass exodus when I apply a topical poison but dislike topicals so much. "Wash your hands immediately!" the instructions say, but let it soak into your dog, no worries. (?!) I only see a mild response with medicated shampoos tho the benzoyl peroxide/sulfur has lately made the pup impatient during the 10 minute wait.I'll coat him in bentonite clay that's good and soaked, and let that dry in hopes of drawing the evil out..But this stuff.. Medicated Dog Mange Shampoo, Antifungal, etc (amazon mixes their reviews so calling it out) The poor guy he was literally backing into the back of the tub, wild-eyed with body language saying "I'm gonna bolt!!!" I've never seen that reaction before! Fur standing straight up, all down his back and legs as if he had chills. I know essential oils must be harsh on their sense of smell, but what was this reaction?!I'm learning the magic bullets, slowly. One is the right kind of oil to go into or coax the mite out of the follicle - jojoba and grapeseed are excellent for between bath evening flare-ups or dry skin. Then the essential oils really wake those monsters up! Antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal, and it's "just" thyme, oregeno, sage, etc! The monsters must have gotten a bit active with this shampoo's combination and the pup was freaking out! Afterwards he went to his sulking bed while I cleaned up the usual wads of fur and skin that are released by fungus/bacteria/mites that die off during the 10-minute soak period. That part is important - let it work for a bit before rinsing!Next I grabbed the ear cleaner to finish our routine (he usually waits impatiently for this step) and he was still sulking/sleeping? In that half hour, he was already weeping gunk and cheese in the usual spots - lower chest, a bit on the flank, and the sides/backs of legs. Wow. Mass exodus so quickly! And it came OUT, not stayed in! I was blown away.Since I go through phases wiping him down with oil + essential oils (now), I haven't used this too consistently. It seemed like it hurt or at least irritated - his infection is deep and he needs more healing time of Lidocaine+cortisol (topical) after a large blow-out. Also, almost no flaking. Usually when I do a M-C-T rubdown, he's a flakey mess the next day because the die-off in-and-just-under the skin was from a mineral oil base, so the skin just lifts. Not with this stuff. It excreted properly, if that's even possible. I'll see about adding photos after. His joint inflammation seemed to ease as well because I had a big, galloping puppy hopping down the aisles with me at Lowe's the next day. My heart smiled!(and anyone who saw, the goofball!)We have a long road ahead, but this is becoming a staple in my arsenal. Sorry if TMI but if you have a dog suffering skin issues and are over the "oh it's just food allergies" game, you probably know.Somewhat related - human rosacea forums online (red inflammed skin, acne-like, immune-based and hence prone to mites breaking homeostasis) talk about applying various oils or tea tree oil and they say they feel "instant, crazy activity", then lots of sand and grit being expelled by the next morning. (I even look up horse forums for treatment options for the poor pup, as no vet or vet dermatologist has found a single mite, if they even look...). The humans say their skin clears significantly after. So I'm taking the my dog's extreme reaction and post-bath skin weeping as good news. I wish vets would believe photos or that owners might actually know their dogs better than their 5-minute exam, sigh.I continue to wipe him down with iodine water (part of frequent foot baths), use various supplement rotations, but I'd say his "migrating fatty lipomas" are getting smaller, breaking up, and moving around more frequently than just becoming grapefruit sized mass of infection and mite colonies/waste. This is positive.Also, research on the off-label use of Nex-guard for demodex (a flea medicine chewable like heartworm meds) is all over the NIH site and spreading for nixing demodex in 3-6 months vs years of near-toxic ivermectin and sulfur-lyme dips. My dog just is almost through his 3rd month so I'm headed back to vet for more. His case was a lot worse than he ever let on but the combo of meds and this new shampoo, I think I finally have some hope!Totally recommend.Now if they could come out with a cat product...

We used this on our 6 month old Doberman. Her hair was thinning and her coat wasn’t looking great. We tried everything from different shampoos to skin moisturizers to aloe sprays. I wish I had before and after pictures because it’s an amazing difference! Only used 4 days ago and have seen a huge difference! Will use again tonight to hopefully completely restore her coat and correct her skin issue.
