Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions

Is this product good for yeasty skin

Answer by Chewy • Jun 10, 2018
This shampoo helps reduce bacterial and yeast adhesion to the skins surface.

Why do the instructions say to wash twice with the shampoo? (Rinse and repeat) Please clarify why and if this is the process? Thank you.

Answer by Chewy • Jul 13, 2023
The benefits of rinsing and repeating with the Virbac Epi-Soothe Shampoo is to help maintain the moisturizing and antipruritic actions. When using the shampoo, wet hair coat and gently massage in Epi-Soothe shampoo to obtain a good lather than rinse. Repeat, but this time leave the lather on the hair and skin for 5 to 10 minutes; then rinse off water. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If possible, try not to towel dry your pet but allow them to air dry because it will reduce residual oatmeal effect.

Does this have a medicinal smell?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 12, 2022
This shampoo has a green apple fragrance.

Is this shampoo safe for kittens and puppies?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 21, 2024
This shampoo is designed for sensitive skin in dogs, cats and horses of any age.

Amazing shampoo.

This really helps my cat with the itching from allergies. It stops her from making bald patches from scratching. I just give her a bath when I start to see dandruff

This really helps my cat with the itching from allergies. It stops her from making bald patches from scratching. I just give her a bath when I start to see dandruff about once a month. She is much more comfortable and does not scratch holes in her hair or skin. This is a quality life saver.

Stopped the Itch!

My labradoodle was itching like crazy. I was using an oatmeal shampoo but the itch continued. His dog sitter recommended your products and the itch has ceased!

Not what I hoped for.

My Shihpoo's fur is very kinky, and I brush him nearly every day, but he gets itchy. I was hoping this would provide an anti-itch benefit, but it hasn't. It did

My Shihpoo's fur is very kinky, and I brush him nearly every day, but he gets itchy. I was hoping this would provide an anti-itch benefit, but it hasn't. It did lather nice, and smells clean, but his itching even seems worse.

Despite new products I've always gone back to this

I work in the vet industry so I come by and have tried many new products but I always come back to this for my pets skin issues. General enough for frequent use

I work in the vet industry so I come by and have tried many new products but I always come back to this for my pets skin issues. General enough for frequent use and is soothing for irritated skin. No scent which is important, they don't like heavy scents or perfume

Did a great job along with Vetrimax AtopiCream to soothe my dogs skin. No more flaky, itchy skin.
