Happy to see that Chewy carried the the 4% solution recommended by my vet to help with my dog's seasonal allergies and related skin/fungus issues. There were also meds prescribed, but I do think that this shampoo really helped to calm his skin and promote healing & hair regrowth. Smell isn't bad - pretty neutral and not as medicinal as I expected.

My Newfoundland had a bacterial and yeast infection that wasn't responding to antibiotics alone. I started bathing him with this 4% chlorhexadine shampoo and within a week, his skin was visibly improved. It's hard to find a brand with 4% so this will be my go-to when his skin shows signs of infection again.

This is one of the only shampoos I can use on my dog. She has very sensitive skin and breaks out from almost everything else. If she has a breakout this product also helps to clear everything up with weekly bathing. As a dog groomer I personally 100% back this product and trust it!

Great smelling shampoo that works

Our 11-year-old Malshi tends to get lots of bumps/growths and this shampoo treats them after just a couple of days baths. It’s got a great fresh scent too.
