I have a 14 mth old Shar Pei who has skin issues. Right after I brought her home she had puppy mainge & lost most of her hair. She has been on 3 different antibiotics & this shampoo from the Drs office. It works really well & we thought she was finally over it & it came back. What I would like to know is can I get it in a larger bottle. I have to bathe her every 5 days & at $14 a month that can add up to a lot of money. So if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate to hear from you. Thanking you in advance for your help. I have a 14 mth old Shar Pei who has skin issues.

I used to raise Shar Peis and we used a shampoo called Tar-ific by PPP (professional pet products). It worked very well to help with itching. The smell is a little unusual, but not bad. Considering the ingredients, this SynergyLabs shampoo looks like it might be fine too.

you may want to visit synergylabs website or even a grooming supply and see if they offer it by the gallon. Usually they do offer larger bottles.

You know I am not sure about this. I think you need to call the manufacturer on that one. We did not trim our collie's fur around his neck as indicated. I think his skin is very sensitive and that might not be a good thing for him. So, anyways; it is going on about 1 1/2 months now; and our life has changed. We like the fact that it promotes a more balanced dog. We do not put it on longer than the recommended time. It is supposed to be 11 hours or less. Fortunately, it works well with walking, playing, indoor play where it isn't needed, and the outdoor play is now QUIET. The phone number of Sportdog is 1-800-732-0144.

I found that as long as I was diligent in washing a minimum of 2x per week, my pet was far less itchy. His problem is with seasonal allergies, so once Fall begins the need to wash so often goes away. I suppose that it depends on the issue your pet is experiencing.

I wouldn't add conditioner if you are new to using this. Give this a chance to work on its own. Im assuming your dog has skin problems. Let the problems go away and then add conditioner. This shampoo doesn't dry out my dog's fur or skin.

I have a 7lb chihuahua who isnt really furry or fluffy who I bathe once a week. I usually wash him twice with the shampoo when I bathe him. Really the amount of shampoo I bathe my dog with depends on how dirty or smelly he is. I'm sure the amount of shampoo used with each bath varies with every dog owner and his or her dog. The shampoo lasts a decent amount of time though, about 2 months. I would estimate the shampoo lasting a shorter amount of time for bigger and more fluffy or furry dogs.

You are very welcome! In opinion. .it is well worth it.On my longer haired dogs my trimmer takes a beating.it has gotten put knots & tangles.In fact, my pld one would have been stillcworking if it were not that my older dog Charlottle gets so messy, and had a really bad tangle that took awhile and it finally gave our after a year and a half.Like I said, I am rough on the trimmer.It should last aclot longer.Tge second one I have is over a year and still in great condition.It is lightweight& fits easy in your hand.If the blade gets too warm...stop ut for a few mins.and wipediwn w/a cotton ball (not soaked) of alcohol.

I bath and groom my dog once a month, and the charge usually holds for 2 groomings. I really like my Wahl and am happy with it. Be sure to check and oil it regularly.

My ( year old Westie Lily was on Allergy shots, along with Atopica. I took her off all of it...very expensive. I bath her 1-2 times a week and put t-shirts on her, she is allergic to GRASS! I also found that if you use head and shoulders first, leave on about 5 minutes then use this Malaseb , you must leave on dogs skin 10 minutes (longest wait in your life), it helps alot. I also give Lily a Zrtec daily. Her itching is to a mininum. My groomer (every 4 months) uses Murphys oil soap first to clean her and then her Malaseb shampoo. Its no cure, but it keeps the itch at bay if you use it regularly. I have been using now 2 years, with good results My ( year old Westie Lily was on Allergy shots, along with Atopica.

I've used this product on my Sheltie that had a similar symptoms. It works great with a combination of medicated shampoo Chlorhexidine 2%. The key is bathing them 3-days in a row and allowing the solution or shampoo to stay on them for at least 10 to 15 minutes before you rinse. Keep in mind this is a concentrate. A small amount mixed into bath water or a small tub will go a long way. As always read the directions and if the symptoms persist after the third day consult your vet.

My dog is a 5.5 pitbull when i was giving him bully max i did notice when he would walk up the steps his back and neck were more muscular. It gave him diarrhea so i stopped giving it to him. I recommend boiling chicken and giving him boiled chicken and raw egg mixed in his food. Dont dump the chicken broth feed him that too. Just try upping his protein intake and making sure hes getting daily exercise. Depending on how old he is it might just be how its going to be. Just like when we get old taking body building supplements isnt going to do much when your 90 lol. Good luck. Talk to your vet about options.

Yes! Works very well. Used 2-3 times a week for the first two weeks then once a week after. Smells good too. After every bath I put coconut oil on her coat also. Bald spots and scratching are gone completely. Also feeding a grain free holistic diet helps with any other skin issues

I have a Cairn Terrier and I use the medium $39.00 one. It really gets that undercoat out really well. First time in 9 years that she has not scratched herself to the point of a vet visit and steroid shots. Wasted so much money on the others. Good luck

I have to be honest here...I've thought about buying another one just for the dog, but I think it would be a complete nightmare! It might hold enough water for both. But, thinking about my dog, I change her water regularly and even more in the summer or just needs changing because she's a dog! My newer puppy is about 60 pounds, but I've seen her with her doggie daycare buddies, and it's a mess. I can't imagine unhooking it, cleaning it, plugging it back in, etc., multiple times during the day. And, cleaning and changing the filter(and that could get expensive), I wouln't. Sorry, I hope that helps! Good luck! I have to be honest here...I've thought about buying another one just for the dog, but I think it would be a complete nightmare!

This helped my dogs better than any allergy medication they were ever on. It may take a few applications following the directions but I've had better results with this. I bought in November of 2013 and that was the only month I had to use it once the licking was under control, plus I give my dogs homeopathic sulphur pills once a day, you can buy on amazon and they are inexpensive compared to shots and medication from the vet. Read up on Sulphur you will be surprised at all the skin problems it helps! Good Luck

I'm using what amounts to a heaping tablespoon for a dog the same size. However, it's a rescue that we are clearing up a mange problem on. I'd guess less would work if your dog's skin & coat are normal.

I initially used it on my dog (shih Tzu mix) 2x a week and now it varies between every week to every other week. If I can suggest something else in combination with this shampoo, Skin Works has done wonders for both my dogs. It is all natural; my female shih tzu mix also needs this on her belly (rash develops from going #1). Hope this helps!!

Dear Kevin- Please don't think you are doing something wrong. We wish it weren't so but there are certain conditions where the BFF does not work as well as others. For instance, sometimes pet hair weaves itself into rugs and fabrics and it becomes very hard to pluck back out, and some pet hair is so short and downy that it is really hard to pick up. One of our test doggies is a Boxer with little eyelash size fur, and the BFF works well cleaning his microfiber bed and favorite spot on the couch, but we have heard from the owner of a French Bulldog that she had more difficulty getting up all of the tiny furs in her car's carpeting. Most important to us at Lilly Brush is that you are happy with your purchase, and we would like to refund you fully if you are not. Please give us a call (303-757-4184) or email us (sales@LillyBrush.com) and let us know what we can do to help. You are very important to us! Many thanks! Lilly Brush Co., LLC
