This shampoo has the same active ingredient as Dial soap and many mouthwashes (Triclocarban 2%). My three little dogs were scratching horribly, and one chewing his paws so bad he had to wear socks with an elastic strap over his back. 1. The vet recommended Benadryl (one mg. per pound q 12 hours) 2. An immediate change in their food protein. I had been feeding Taste of the Wild lamb (no grain, no fillers) but use the same brand except now it's bison/venison. (I had been giving them baked chicken breast for some years, but switched that to beef liver.) It takes up to 6 weeks to see the full effect of protein change. 3. Hexiderm shampoo, every 2-3 days, yep, for 3 weeks. Then every 3 weeks. 4. Fish oil capsules. 5. What to wash with in between? Micro-Tek is a wonderful shampoo, rich in lather and good smell. It goes further than the Hexiderm, and cleans better. I loved the scrumptious smell so much I've begun using it myself. Itching is caused by food as well as environment, so you have to hit it at all levels. It hasn't totally eliminated scratching, but sure has cut it down. My poodle no longer has to wear his socks, and only licks his feet a little and stops by himself. Some dog shampoos can really leave the hair dry, but this shampoo is gentle. However, DO NOT get in your PET'S EYES, as it will STING! I use baby shampoo right beneath their eyes and rinse carefully. It should help the problem, but not all by itself.Read full review
