Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hmmm...not sure what you mean by "works great"...? What are using that's not working and how is it not working? Shampoos will really not treat symptoms or fix allergy problems. To fix those, you have to work w/ the source. That said, some decent shampoos: https://smile.amazon.com/Douxo-Chlor...2C1W5DJ24F0HDT https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/SynergyLabs...2C1W5DJ24F0HDT https://smile.amazon.com/SynergyLabs...564EVKWT60Y80Z

| My Yorkie and shih tzu both have allergies, I've tried several different typs of over the counter remedies. They even had a prescription from the vet, but that can be expensive. If you can figure out what makes her allergic and remove it if you can, that is a great help. for example my dogs, were suffering intense itching , but I could not find the source, until I realized one day I has all this pollen on my black pants from the dog park. That was the culprit. I changed dog parks, one that was farther away byt, had less trees, problem solved. I have used a special shampoo made by Burt's , they also have a spray, both products work well. But the only way to really get rid of it , is to find the source. Or take him/her to the vet.

| I got the Douxo shampoo from my vet and it seems to work well. They have several types your vet can help you figure out which is best. Are you using anything to control the allergies?

| We love 4-Legger organic shampoo Two of my Yorkies have problems with itchy skin, which we believe to be a result of seasonal allergies. We have not been able to pinpoint the exact allergen causing problems, so it is a yearly ordeal. I have tried several different shampoos, conditioners, sprays, foams, dips, allergy shots, prescription meds, oils, different dog food, etc., with no relief. But a few months ago I started using 4-Legger certified organic shampoos (available on Amazon) and it has made a HUGE difference! They are no longer miserably scratching their skin raw so I know it is helping alot. And I also love that it's made in U.S.A.! They have a few different formulas, so I first bought samples directly from 4-Legger and determined I like the aloe and lemongrass the best. It doesn't lather alot, which was hard to get used to, and is somewhat pricey. But considering the relief it has brought to my furbabies (and to my nerves) it is worth every penny. Good luck with yours. 😀 |
