Itchy Stinky Dog No More!
We have a HUGE and furry Great Pyrenees who doesn't particularly love bath time, but after the summer time we had to make sure he was well cleansed and got any funk out of his skin and fur. This shampoo was AMAZING. Super easy to suds up and really got his fur white. No more funky smell and no itchy on his belly anymore. Highly recommend.

Helped Soothe an Irritated Spot
I was given this product in exchange for my honest review. I used the Veterinary Formula Antiseptic & Antifungal Medicated Shampoo after noticing my dog kept biting and scratching a spot near his ankle.
The shampoo lathered really well and had a clean, mild scent. My dog didn’t react to it at all during the bath, which is always a good sign.
After a couple of uses, the area looked less irritated and he seemed way less focused on scratching it. It looks like it’s finally starting to heal, and I’ll keep using it to support recovery.
If your dog deals with occasional itchy spots or skin flare-ups, this is a solid shampoo to have on hand.

A Healing Touch for Sachie's Skin
After finding success with Veterinary Formula's Hot Spot & Itch Relief Spray for my dog Sachie's hot spots and itchiness, I decided to try their Antiseptic & Antifungal Medicated Shampoo. I'm impressed with the results! This shampoo has been a game-changer for Sachie's skin health. Compared to regular dog shampoos, this medicated formula really shows its strength in soothing and healing Sachi's irritated skin. I highly recommend it to pet owners dealing with similar skin issues - it's been a huge help for Sachie.

Antiseptic & Antifungal Medicated Shampoo
Before using the shampoo, my dog was experiencing quite a bit of discomfort. He had persistent itching, and I noticed red patches of skin, especially around his belly and paws. He would lick himself a lot, which made things worse, and I felt so bad for him.
The bath time experience was surprisingly smooth. The shampoo was easy to apply, and it lathered well. Rinsing it out was quick too; I didn’t have to struggle with any residue left behind. I used the shampoo once a week, leaving it on for about 10 minutes each time, allowing it to do its magic.
I found that giving my dog a special treat during bath time helped him stay calm and relaxed, making the whole process more enjoyable for both of us.
After a few uses, I noticed a significant improvement. The redness began to fade, and he stopped scratching as much. It was a relief to see him comfortable again. Overall, I highly recommend this shampoo for anyone dealing with similar skin issues in their dogs!
