After hundreds of dollars at the Vet with shots and shampoos our groomer used this plus the lotion and no more skin problems. This is all we use.

Don’t shampoo the dog. It can dry out their skin. Put a little oil in food. I would take the dog to the bay for a swim, and hose it off well, no shampoo. I had three rarely bathed them.

I get this shampoo along with conditioner I used it on my Lab that had skin allergies and still currently use this on my German Shepherd. I order it thru Chewy, very good product! Zymox also has ear drops that I used for my Labs ears that were horrible and cleared up and I also use this on my German Shepherd every other week to keep his ears clear of anything.

If they have seasonal itching my vet does recommend a bath to wash off the irritants. Putting baby oil in a warm water bath can be all that is needed to do this. If it’s a chronic issue try putting omega 3 fish oil in daily food. My lab benefits from both of these. Good luck

Our boy was extremely itchy on his legs and feet we rubbed Equiderma lotion on him a few days in a row. It cleared him right up! It is lotion made for horses with skin problems. I had some for my horse so I brought it home. They do make some specifically for dogs too. I have no idea if it’s different or the same thing with a different label Great stuff!

My Lab has a history of hot spots. Severe enough to require medical intervention. I put him on fish oil. Reduced them from 4 or 5 per year, to 2 small ones in the last 2 1/2 years. If you really must shampoo your dog, get one with oatmeal. Otherwise regularly brushing is usually enough.
