Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic & Antiseborrheic Medicated Dog Shampoo, 16 oz – Paraben, Dye, Soap Free – Hydrating and Antifungal Shampoo for Dogs, White

My dog was suffering from flaky skin, constant itching, and a weird odor that just wouldn’t go away, no matter how often I bathed him. After doing some research, I decided to try the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care shampoo—and wow, what a difference!Within just two washes, his skin started clearing up, the redness reduced, and the smell was completely gone. The lather is rich and soothing, and I could tell it gave him instant relief. He’s now so much more comfortable, and I’ve noticed way less scratching and licking.I love that it’s vet-recommended and has ingredients like coal tar and salicylic acid that actually treat the issue instead of just masking symptoms. Plus, it’s super affordable compared to some of the prescription shampoos.Highly recommend to any pet parent dealing with skin issues

I’ve been using the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic & Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo on my golden retriever, who has been struggling with flaky and itchy skin. After just two baths, spaced ten days apart, I’ve noticed significant improvement—his skin is healing, and his fur feels much softer.The shampoo lathers well and rinses out easily. While it is scent-free, there’s a slight medicinal smell, but it’s not overpowering and dissipates quickly. I appreciate that it’s free from parabens, dyes, and soaps, making it gentle on my dog’s sensitive skin.One thing to note is the importance of following the usage instructions. Initially, I bathed my dog every ten days, and as his skin condition improved, I reduced the frequency. Consistency is key to seeing results.Overall, I’m very satisfied with this shampoo. It’s an affordable solution that has brought relief to my dog’s skin issues. I highly recommend it to other pet owners facing similar challenges.

I have 3 dogs, 2 got a skin/fur infection (we got fleas while I was pregnant, luckily not an infestation but it did wreck havoc on my boys skin). I bathed them once a week (all I had the energy to do) and 1 boy (beagle/basset) has skin/fur back to normal after 10 weeks of weekly baths. Probably would have went away faster if I did at least 2-3 times a week. Long haired dachshund still has issues so we took him to the vet. Why I bought this shampoo: already had anti-fungal which did not help. My boys would get pink boils on their back, long haired had tons. They would get patches of black flaky stuff and what almost looked like ringworm, pink scaly skin (not ringworm though). I believe an infection caused by fleas (unfortunately with the increasing heat we have been getting fleas every year despite once a month skin medicine and daily flea/tick treats). This did help. Glad I saved money on one dog; if my husband shaved down the longhaired and I bathed 3 times a week, I would have been better off.This stuff does stink & dries out fur/skin. Once better, fur does get back to normal! My basset is back to being greasy. I used normal shampoo after I washed this out to make dog smell better & sprayed with aloe to help with dry fur.

I never write reviews, but this shampoo deserves one. What sets this one apart is how gentle and effective it is. I’ve used it on both my 9-week-old puppy after a dirt-rolling session and my 16-year-old dog who deals with dandruff. Other shampoos dry out their skin, leading to itching and more flakes. Not this one. Their coats come out shiny, the dandruff stays under control, and there's no post-bath itching. They’re clean, comfortable, and happy. I won’t use anything else.

It’s been 10 days today and the mange is almost gone. I used a combination of DermaPet" Benzoyl Peroxide Plus Shampoo (DermaBenSS); Davis Benzoyl Peroxide Medicated Dog & Cat Shampoo, Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic and Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs, and Nu-Stock. I’ll outline what I did in a second.Some background: My 10 year old boxer contracted what looked to be demodectic mange. She got bumps on her skin, some large, some smaller. They would start leaking pus, then crust over, and when they scabs came off, she’d have a dark, calloused patch of bald skin. She wasn’t terribly itchy. And she didn’t get stinky. The sores were mostly on her back. Granted, this wasn’t the worst case of mange, by a longshot.She’d recently had two procedures under general anesthesia and I wasn’t keen on the idea of subjecting her toxic dips and other potentially harmful meds, especially given her age. So first I tried the Listerine & baby oil route. Didn’t really help. Then I switched to Borax, hydrogen peroxide and water. That helped a little, but I had to go out of town for a week and couldn’t treat her. When I got back, she looked worse and had more bald patches. She also had a new oozing sore.I read up on Amazon and chose the four products I mentioned earlier: DermaPet" Benzoyl Peroxide Plus Shampoo (DermaBenSS); Davis Benzoyl Peroxide Medicated Dog & Cat Shampoo, Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic and Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs, and Nu-Stock.First, I washed her as directed with the benzoyl peroxide shampoos. These shampoos are supposed to flush the pores out and clean out the gunk. I used this step to essentially prep her skin for the following two steps. FYI – DermaBenSS lathers up more and has a coconut-y scent, but Davis seems just as good. I used a little of both. I didn’t need a lot of shampoo. Just remember, these shampoos don’t lather up like regular shampoo, so don’t keep putting it on thinking you need more. I think of this stuff more like a benzoyl peroxide face wash. (Those don’t really later up either.) I kept the shampoo on for 10 minutes, massaging the shampoo into her fur (not scrubbing – I didn’t want to hurt her). Then we rinsed. It’s very easy to rinse off if you don’t gob it on.After that, I used the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiparasitic and Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs. This one lathers up much more. I think the benzoyl peroxide shampoos really allowed this stuff to get in and work its magic. I followed the directions and kept it on for 15 minutes. It smells medicine-y. Again, massaging it into her fur. After that, we rinsed and towel dried, then pup shook and rubbed against the length of the furniture a dozen or so times.After she dried off a bit more, I put out a waterproof blanket and got out the Nu-Stock. I read lots of reviews about the smell so I was expecting something horrible. It’s not perfume, that’s for sure, but it’s really not as bad as I expected. It smells pine-y and medicine-y, with a bit of sulfur in there. It dries chalky and it can be greasy, so be careful of your furniture. That’s why I put the waterproof picnic blanket on my bed.I applied Nu-Stock directly to her new sores and recent scars, but also spread it over her back where there were quite a few recent scabs. I did this by thinning the Nu-Stock with baby oil, and using an old hair dye brush to make sure the solution got in good contact with her skin. The Nu-Stock sticks pretty well, so your pup might look a little odd with the yellow stuff on her coat. Again, I think the benzoyl peroxide shampoo helped prepare her skin so she could get the full benefit of this product.I repeated this process every three days. On the third and fourth washes, I started using a washcloth to make sure every part of her skin was cleaned properly. Again, not scrubbing, just washing gently. All told, she’s been washed and treated with Nu-Stock 4 times. And OH WHAT A DIFFERENCE.1. No new sores have popped up, for the first time since she contracted this horrible condition2. The open sores have healed with new pink skin, not the dark, calloused hard skin that usually appeared when scabs fell off3. Hair is growing back nicely – even on the older scarsThis treatment actually makes her coat shiny. Today, she actually seemed like she felt better after her bath – she was romping around like a puppy.I am so grateful to these companies for their amazing products. I think using all these products in tandem made for my pup’s quick recovery. I’m never going without these. As long as I have a fur baby, my cupboard will be stocked with these fantastic products!
