A lifesaver
By Cecilia on Oct 16, 2020
This shampoo (and the coordinating conditioner) have provided the relief we have been looking for for quite awhile. We have spent a fortune on other antifungal relief to no avail. This application is very time consuming (shampoo, wait 10 min. before rinsing, repeat, and then applying conditioner & wait 5-10 minutes & do an optional repeat.) This should be done 3x the first week. If you saw the difference in my dog after 2 baths, you would know it was worth both time & money.

Great for seasonal allergies
By Stacy on Apr 18, 2020
After we moved to South Carolina from Chicago, my cockapoo started having severe yeast infections in his ears and dry boils on his skin that were related (according to my vet). My vet recommended this shampoo and it's the only thing that's worked for us. My vet told me to bathe my dog with it 2 to 3 times per week and MOST IMPORTANTLY leave it on the skin for 20 minutes before rinsing. This can be a challenge so what I started doing is rubbing a little shampoo onto his dry spots and taking him for a walk for 20 minutes. When we get back, I put him in the tub where I give him a full, regular bath in this (at least, then, the troubling dry spots have been treated for 20 minutes).

Excellent product
By Bubbles on Mar 29, 2020
I use it as directed to keep my cat's nail beds clean and to prevent them from getting infected. It doesn't work overnight, but I've noticed a lot of progress since I started treating her.

Excellent medicated shampoo

I've tried many things to treat my dog's paw pad infections, and KetoChlor has been the only product that helped. With twice daily shampooings, her feet are beginning to heal.

German Shepherd life saver!
By Michelle on Nov 8, 2019
My dog has had series where she gets hot spots but recently she had a three month flare up with mange that had us contemplating whether we were able to care for her permanently. After visiting her doctor he recommended this shampoo and thankfully she is doing so much better. Her skin sores are dry and she is happier no longer scratching at herself. This has literally saved our dog’s life we are so thankful.

Nose Saver!
By JenB on Jul 26, 2019
this product was a life...no a Nose saver! my German Shepard swims in our pool on a daily and started to smell so unbelievably sour we could not stand it. With just 4 applications we can breathe again!! The only downside is that it is expensive and 4 applications was just about all the bottle held, so I am glad it was fast acting
