    Before the spray:

    My dog was itching nonstop with red patches and constant licking.

    Tips for best results:

    Spray evenly, rub into coat, and reapply after outdoor playtime.

    Changes after use:

    Less itching, calmer skin, shiny coat, and my pup finally relaxed again.

    Works great

    The Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Shampoo worked wonders for my dog’s itchy skin. After just one wash, the redness calmed down and she wasn’t scratching nearly as much. It rinses clean and leaves her coat soft without a strong medicated smell. The only challenge is keeping it on for a few minutes before rinsing, but the relief it gives makes it worth it.

    Comfort for Baloo

    This medicated shampoo has been a great solution for Baloo’s hot spots and itchy skin. After just a couple of baths, his irritation started to calm down and his coat looked much healthier. It lathers well, rinses easily, and leaves him clean without drying out his skin. I’m happy to see Baloo more comfortable and free from constant scratching.

    Great for dogs who have skin allergies

    I’m so glad I found this shampoo! My dog has sensitive skin and often chews her paws and belly from allergies. The medicated formula really calmed her irritation and gave her noticeable relief after just a few washes. She did great with both the shampoo and the spray version her skin looks healthier and she seems so much more comfortable now. Highly recommend for pups with itchy skin or skin issues.
