ZYMOX Enzymatic Shampoo with Vitamin D

My dog has had skin bacteria issue on and off for a while because of his age and immunity. I read the reviews on this item and had tried the Zymox brand for his ear yeast infections and this stuff performed pretty miraculously. The shampoo is amazingly rich and thick. It smells good and does a much better job than following up my dog's bath with a vinegar rinse which is what I was doing before to get rid of the skin issues. However, my sensitive dog hated, really hated the vinegar rinse and it would stress him out so much that I had to find another solution. I tried this and he was pleasantly surprised as was I. This gets to the deep areas beneath the coat easily and doesn't just sit on the surface of the skin. I followed the instructions about letting it sit for 3-5 minutes and I let it set for five and more. The shampoo is easy to rinse out and really leaves his skin feeling soft. After his bath, he does not show the normal irritation of moving from one position in the house to the next. He seems more settled and not trying to escape the itch. After his bath, I inspected the areas and they were almost as pink as the rest of his normal skin. But don't be fooled! Bacteria and fungus invasions are nothing to play around with. I am giving him a bath every other day for three weeks and washing his bedding every single day and it is making a difference. This shampoo is great and I have purchased the Zymox coat conditioner for after bath rinsing. I will post more later as progress goes...

Stopped my dogs scratching and made his coat soft and shiny! Smells wonderful

Excellent product,use it for my Tibetan terrier! Works fabulas

I have used this for many years on three different dogs. It lathers well and it cleans her skin and hair very well. It smells good and does not irritate my pup. When I say lets get a bath, she uns to the tub and jumps in. She is a Westie and they can sometimes have skin issues but since using this shampoo none of my dogs have had issues. I recommend this for anyone looking for a shampoo to help skin issues or just give a good bath.

So far, so good. Let me give you some background information on my dog since that is what I was looking for when I was reading reviews. We have a 6-1/2 year old pit mix female. Around the age of one year, she started having skin issues ranging from redness to itching to hair loss - the whole nine yards. We spent several thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars on veterinary care including visits to a veterinary dermatologist. She had undergone your standard steroid therapies (which no one pet wants to endure) and had even had sulfur-lime dips (that our former vet said would "cure" her.) She had been on a raw diet, tried holistic remedies such as coconut oil, ACV, etc. When I say we tried everything, I mean we tried everything available at those times. She was diagnosed with a bacterial yeast overgrowth on her skin as her primary skin issue, and she also had seasonal allergies as well. Our former vet wanted to put her on Atopica, but after reading the various pharmacology results, we decided against it and changed vets. Right now...our dog is on Apoquel, but Apoquel does not "solve" or "treat" the issue. It only helps alleviate the body's response. We had been bathing her with other shampoos when I came across Zymox. Knowing how well Zymox works for her ears, I read some reviews and took the plunge to buy both shampoo and enzymatic rinse conditioner. We bathed her with Zymox, and the first time we used the enzymatic rinse (sort of like cream rinse for humans,) I rubbed it on her and let it dry. I was skeptical about this because in the past, leave-on type of conditioners and "protectants" left a film that would dry and flake. The day after we bathed her the first time with Zymox, the redness subsided on her skin (she was having a particularly bad flare up from environmental allergies.) She also stopped itching as much. She itched here and there, but when we opted to do baths on one day and rubbing some of the enzymatic conditioning rinse (which can be used like a rinse, watered down as a spray, or rubbed in as-is) on the other days (every other day,) she has greatly improved. We will begin adding in some digestive enzymes and probiotics in her grain-free, low starch kibble, and go from there. However, if you're looking for immediate relief for an itchy dog (keep in mind...this is not a treatment...this is solely to help alleviate the symptoms. You need to seek veterinary assistance for a diagnosis) this is it. We now keep a spray bottle of conditioning rinse and use the rinse "straight as is" in problem areas.

My Westie (skin problem is common with this breed) has been using Zymox shampoo for 2 wks now 2x/week he's got hot spots. I've noticed a dramatic change after the very first time he used it, after 2 wks he doesn't scratch that much anymore and some of his hair are starting to re-grow and his skin is starting to heal, it's not too red and sticky and warm to touch anymore. I have also ordered the Zymox rinse and just waiting for its delivery and will start on that too in between baths and see if it will continue to totally heal his skin back to normal. I am very satisfied with this product and would highly recommend it to dogs with skin problems. I am planning to use this shampoo as his regular shampoo from now on and it smells good too.

This shampoo is great. I have used it plus the leave in conditioner on my dog for eight years. He has had no skin issues, it lathers well and rinses out easily. I always use the same brand of leave in Conditioner. Great combo and the dog smells great

Our dogs were constantly itching this summer. One wash with this shampoo and an application of the conditioner (we rinsed most of it) worked like magic. No more irritation on our pets' skin. My daughter tried it and it worked for her pets as well.

I like this shampoo and my dog seems to feel comfortable after I bathe him. He doesn't have any skin problems or allergies, although he is scratching more in summer time. But the shampoo cleans well, he doesn't scratch after baths (at least for a while) and the shampoo has a light scent, as it should. It is an expensive shampoo, but he is a short hair Lab mix and I don't bathe him very often.

I do like this product. I normally use a shampoo with chlorhexidine in it. I've been using it for years. I thought we would try something new. I wasn't disappointed. Good price. No smell. Didn't have to leave it on for 10 min. Only 5. Half the time. It has calmed her red spots. Took away her smell and oily skin. I would definitely recommend this pet shampoo.

Love the fact that it is a tearless shampoo so I do not get too much flak from my pooch. Using both the shampoo and rinse has eased my dog's suffering. He does not scratch himself into a frenzy anymore. Everyday is different. Using Zymox shampoo and rinse has eased his itchiness and I need to try it out fir him.

I love this product!!! Zymox is a great brand for shampoo, conditioner and ear drops. My girl has a skin yeast infection and this helps. I'm unable to go to a vet as no vet in my city is taking new patients....so I to have to make do. All the things I've tried this one is the best!!

I use zymox shampoo and conditioner for skin relief on my Chihuahua. He has allergies and gets red, inflamed skin and the shampoo and conditioner make his skin feel better. The Conditioner rinse you can use just by itself - it doesn't have to be rinsed off. Smells great too!
