"LOVE this shampoo! My GSD has sensitive skin and allergies - especially to fragrances, and so do I. The "hypoallergenic" allergy shampoo my vet sold me had a strong, synthetic fragrance that irritated his skin."

— Stephany

"I am willing to spend what it takes to rid my poor dog of her severe itching, but this apparently high-end, natural product only worsened her problem. She is scratching more than ever just three days after her second bath with this product."
