FoxNest Medicated Shampoo:  I really like this shampoo for many skin problems like mild bacterial and yeast infections, and greasy or flakey skin.  Good at removing dead skin, cleaning out pores, and killing excessive bacteria and yeast.  $12

FoxNest Aloe & OatMeal Shampoo with Almond Oil:  Aloe & Oatmeal Shampoo provides relief from itchy, scaling and sensitive skin and contains emollients to restore the skin's natural moisture.

- It;s hypoallergenic, detergent and soap-free.
- It's alcohol and Animal Fat Free
- Very pleasant scent and lathers well and rinses easily
- Use as often as needed without stripping the coat

But what makes this shampoo extra special is almond oil which has healing properties to damaged skin, especially when combined with aloe vera.  $8

Hylyt EFA Shampoo:  If your pet isn't itchy and the skin is in good condition, but you want a super premium shampoo for frequent use, then Hylyt is the very best:

- It’s soap free, hypoallergenic, and very gentle & smells great
- It’s full of moisturizing emollients to help heal damaged skin

Zymox Shampoo and Rinse:  Zymox products are new and contain enzymes that digest dead skin, bacteria, yeast, ringworm, fungus, and pus.  They work amazing well.  They make excellent products for ear infections and wounds that we love and promote on other pages.  But they also make a great shampoo and cream rinse:

Great results require multiple bathings over a period of several weeks.

Genesis Spray: is by far the most potent steroid spray available for itching.  It works as well as oral prednisone but with far fewer side effects.

It contains Triamcinolone in a special formula that binds to the skin well which prevents internal absorption and makes it longer acting.

When Gentocin or Baytril antibiotics are added, it’s very effective at treating hot spots or extremely sore and red ear lobes.

Apply twice daily for the first 3-7 days then use once daily or as needed.

16 ounce:  $20
16 ounce with Gentocin antibiotic:  $25
16 ounce with Baytril antibiotic:      $35


Relief:  DVM, the same company that makes Hylyt shampoo makes Relief Shampoo, Cream Rinse, and Spray.  The Name says it all.

Relief is great for itchy dogs and cats

- Micronized, colloidal oatmeal which is very soothing to irritated skin
- Contains Pramoxine which is a potent topical anti-histamine
- Soap free and contains Omega fatty acids

Relief Shampoo is a good cleaner and great at giving relief from itching, flaking, and inflamed skin.  The shampoo is superior to the spray and cream rinse for totally saturating the skin but requires more work and needs to be worked into the skin for a good 10 minutes for great results.   $14

Relief Cream Rinse can be used for it’s intended purpose of extending the beneficial effects of the shampoo and moisturizing irritated skin  OR  you can use it like a lotion instead of the shampoo and leave it on (especially on short haired pets) or rinse off.  $18

Relief Spray is great for daily, easy relief of itchy paws, tail heads, and other itchy body parts.  $12

ShedGuard: ShedGuard uses micropore technology to moisturize the sub dermis.  It was originally designed in Isreal for balding men !

I don't recommend it for dogs or cats with long hair, silky hair, or fluffy hair coats because it leaves a tacky residual

But for short haired dog breeds like dalmations, dacshunds, dobermans and many other dogs, Boy is this stuff great.  It's good at reducing shedding and it's great for making the coat really shiny. $16

Allermyl Shampoo for Soothing Allergic Skin
This is a very mild shampoo with foaming micro emulsifiers that relieves irritation and itching damaged skin.

Ingredients include natural anti-inflammatories, mild cleansing agents, and essential fatty acids.  It’s dye and fragrance free

Allermyl is a super premium, expensive shampoo and is $20 for a small bottle.  But it's very effective assuming there isn't a bacterial or yeast infection present.

The Furminater:  This expensive, German made, ceramic blade comb is the best under coat remover we've ever used.  Excellent for many breeds and not so good for other hair coats so feel free to try it out on your cat or dog the next time you're at the clinic.  Removing all the loose hair makes skin healthier, greatly reduces shedding and vacuuming, and makes your pet look a lot better.  $30-50

Thiotrol removes skunk odor better than anything else we’ve tried.

Skunk musk is composed primarily of seven ingredients, six of which are sulfur-containing thiols that give the skunk musk its awful smell.

In order to get rid of skunk odor on pets, the thiols and thioacetates need to be either physically removed from the coat or chemically altered.

Oxidizing agents such a bleach and hydrogen peroxide work fairly well with multiple applications, but aren’t safe and can change the hair color of a pet.

Chelation is the best way to to chemically alter thiols and that’s how Thiotrol works and renders the thiols odorless faster and quicker than any other method.

Shampoo  $8
Spray:      $8




AllerPet Cat and AllerPet Dog are made for people who are allergic to their pets

These products enzymatically remove the skin and coat of saliva, dander, and sebaceous gland secretions which are considered to be the prime antigens causing some people to be allergic to pets.

AllerPet C and AllerPet D are 100% non toxic for kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs and a $16 bottle will last several months.

If someone in your family is allergic to pets, make them much more comfortable by simply rubbing a little AllerPet on your pet’s coat once a day.
