BEST SHAMPOO
September 10, 2010
This is the best antibacterial shampoo for dogs. Our Golden Retriever has severe allergies causing bacterial(Staph) skin infections. This shampoo recommended by our dog dermatologist works great. It has a pleasant smell and dries up the skin lesions.

Douxo Chlorhexidine shampoo - Sept. 2009
September 22, 2009
Last year my veterinarian recommended that I try this shampoo on my 7 year old Golden Retriever. We had spent thousands of dollars on allergy testing with subsequent monthly allerge shots, cortisone injections for itching, every type of allergy shampoo, etc. with no luck. Jazzy was miserable, and so were we - she smelled \"like a dog!\" and scratched constantly, losing much of her hair in the process. Then, I tried this shampoo - OUR LIVES, including hers, are changed!!!! Her coat is beautiful, no itching, and the smell is completely gone! We have used this shampoo consistently for the past year or so - it is amazing! I dilute it with water to make it easier to apply to her thick coat and leave it on her about 10-15 minutes to allow it to \"soak in\" to the skin! It is a wonderful product!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

I have 3 Sharpeis that start chewing their feet and legs every summer due to grass pollen. I have been using this product for only 2 weeks now and their itchiness is all but gone. You have to give baths more often but it is worth it nor to see them in agony anymore.

Great shampoo
December 18, 2008
This is a wonderful shampoo for pets that suffer from allergies or other skin conditions where an antiseptic cleansing and moisturizing is concerned. Special ingredients leave the coat clean smooth and very pleasant smelling. Moisturizing ingredients stay on the skin and don\'t rinse out making it last.
