Vetoquinol BPO-3 Shampoo for Dogs, Cats & Horses (3% Benzoyl Peroxide) – 16oz – Deep Cleaning, Medicated Shampoo Opens & Flushes Hair Follicles – Degreases Oily Coats – Soothes Red, Flaky, Itchy Skin

This is a good shampoo. It was prescribed by my dog’s vet for pyoderma folliculitis, which is a fancy term for hair follicle inflammation and a subsequent skin infection. My dog ( a golden retriever) had very flaky, cracked skin that smelled incredibly musty. So musty, I had to leave the room or have him leave the room, even after bathing him. The bacterial infection caused the smell and the follicle inflammation I presume the flaky skin. The vet prescribed this shampoo to be used 3x/ week for one month along with a course of oral antibiotics that he had to take for 10 days ( keflex twice a day) . It cleared up, but the vet said this will likely be a lifelong recurring issue as these dogs tend to have skin problems and are prone to allergies. It has now been several months and I noticed the flaky skin was returning and a little bit of smell although not as repugnant as before. So I started using it again. Ideally I would do this several times a week again, but bathing a big dog is not a quick 5 min chore so I can realistically do it once, maybe twice a week. We’ll see if I can keep it at bay without another trip to the vet for antibiotics. This shampoo uses benzoyl peroxide as it’s active ingredient and is antimicrobial and “flushes” the follicles. It is to be used on a dog that is not infected to keep potentially bad bacteria on the skin to a minimum to prevent an infection. if your dog smells as bad as mine did, you should probably take it to a vet. It doesn’t have a fruity or typical nice shampoo smell, but rather, it smells like a medicated shampoo. But that doesn’t matter to me. Hope this review helps!

This Benzole Peroxide is magic!! My Boston terrier had flaky skin. Gone immediately with this treatment. The Frenchie also had flaky skin and massive amounts of hot spots. Calmed down with this treatment also,,and if your pets have skin issues This is what you need. Don't doubt it. Buy it and see for yourself. Just follow directions. Wala. Exactly what My pets needed. Thanks soooooo much.

Worked great on my Shepard who was getting oily fur.

My favorite shampoo for my Sphynx. I have to bathe him every 1-2 weeks, and this keeps his skin very soft and clean without causing any irritation! Been using for 3+ years now with no complaints :)

My dog had scabs on his body for most of his life. Vet recommended this and if one has the patience to keep a dog wet for 10 minutes this is great.

Great shampoo for skin irritation .

I have a Chinese Crested (hairless). His skin is sensitive. This shampoo really made a huge difference with his itching almost immediately. It lathers very well. I used his shampoo with this, as this one doesn't smell all that great. It is a wonderful product. I will be buying this again.

Good shampoo. Specially if your pet have delicate skin.
