VirbacEpi-Soothe Pet Shampoo For Dogs, Cats & Horses (16 oz) - For Dry or Sensitive Skin

We've been using this product for years now on our very yeasty, often itchy senior "puppy." This product is fantastic and absolutely has saved him from many miserable days and nights. It is important that you use as directed. If your dog gets that yeasty smell and coating on his skin, wash thoroughly, working down to your dog's skin, TWO times in one bathing session. Let this product sit for a full 10-15 min, EACH time. After the second wash, ensure that you rinse your dog well. The patented formula will create a thin, protective coating on your dog's pelt. And he or she will smell wonderful, as will your carpet & home, while they go many itch-free days and nights. We've taken recently to mixing this shampoo with Virbac's Pyrogen shampoo as our guy also has flea contact dermatitis and gets these little crusty scales which the Pyrogen treats perfectly. But the Epi-soothe truly does get rid of the yeast & bacteria some dogs suffer through while also protecting and lubricating their skin. Their fur will look fluffy and feel so soft after bathing. I do not know what we would do to alleviate our dog, Bear's, suffering if I had not found this product. I could not recommend it enough. P.S. our dog has very dry skin so we also finish with the Virbac conditioner and just leave it in for him, but you can use a gentle conditioner or cream rinse of your own if your pet has dandruff or dry skin as well.

I have used this shampoo on and off for years for my French Bulldogs. Works well to lessen skin irritation and smells good!

We’ve tried quite a few shampoos for our rescue and this one leaves his coat looking and smelling great. Will buy again!

I was very much desperate when I started looking for a anti itch remedy for my cat, and dog. My dog has severe allergies, and he has to be bathed in zymox, almost once every two weeks. Already gone through the diet changes, and stuff. I recently noticed that both pets were scratching more frequent, and losing hair. So I went on the hunt. Reading the reviews, I began to think possibly there skin was dry, because they both are indoor pets; with the exception of my dog going out to be excused several times a day. And now it is winter, and the central heat is a dry circulating heat.The first bath participant was my short haired petite cat. It usually takes about 10 or more minutes to bathe her thoroughly anyhow. Which makes the manu- directions of letting the product stay on, at least 10 minutes, worked out fine. I usually bathe at night; to give her skin time to recover the rest of the night; then the effects of the product will be made known immediately, when she wakes up the next day. So the next morning, no crazy scratching, nor pulling her hair. This stuff worked so well, I bathed my dog the next night. Using the same technique; letting the shampoo stay on for 10 minutes. This was the only shampoo that has given both my precious pets relief.I did notice that my dog started scratching again, a few days later. So I decided to reapply the water, and Epi shampoo on a cloth, but only on his hot spots. I did this while he was lying on the bed. I let this solution, soak in approx 30 minutes, while he ran, and played, inside the house. Then rinsed him off in the bathtub. That application really did the job. He is so happy, and jolly not having to stop playing, just to scratch. He used to wake up with a violent itch, and I knew it was not from fleas, nor bacterial infection, because the Zymox would take care of that. We all are so pleased with this product.Recently tried Palma castor oil on their skin as well. It works great for dry skinThanks to all reviewers who do take the time to share honest testimonials of how a product has worked for them, or for their wonderful pets. It really is appreciated.

Great product

My vet recommended this shampoo for my golden retriever who was frequently scratching/itching himself. After 2-3 months of usage I noticed the scratching has stopped. This product does not contain any flavorful sweet scent but has a fresh smell. Lathers well and leaves the hair silky and fluffy.

I would highly recommend this for your pet with dry flaky skin. It worked magic for mine.

Epi-soothe is awesome and has been for decades. If you got a dog with skin problems then this product is for you. Even kills a lot of fleas if you need it to. But don’t use it as a flea solution, go get a proper one
