Highlighted Reviews

"Grace scratches much less, now her fur coats have nice body lines."

— Kris

"This stuff made my cat have raw and bald spots that scabbed over. Use caution and don't shampoo like a normal bath. I would barely rub it onto the hair and hopefully you don't have the same problem. It was awful for weeks!"

Bottom Line

This shampoo can be a good option for pets with itchy skin, but use it cautiously and be prepared for potential skin reactions or strong smells.
