"It is thick but that's quality. Mix it in a mixing bottle with water, use a lot, less of this shampoo than others. An awesome AWESOME deodorizer and keeps dogs smelling fresh for about 2 weeks. The only shampoo I've found to work for dogs with yeasty skin!"
"It only made it worse, she started scratching and licking herself raw I would not recommend she hasn’t been able to recover and it has been over 3 weeks now my poor pup is so uncomfortable because of this shampoo :("
Bottom Line
If you're dealing with a dog's skin issues, this shampoo is a great choice. It's effective, smells good, and provides quick relief. Just be prepared to dilute it and handle the pump issue.
