How often should you use it? I have a French Bulldog who gets a belly rash unless she's on Atopica. Would love to get her off the meds.

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 have not used this shampoo yet, but my Yorkie-Poos were on Atopica with minimal results, so I was told by a friend to try Nzymes, from nzymes.com, for their allergies and yeast. Just ordered it today, and on their site, it recommended this shampoo, along with several other shampoos. I have spent so much money at the vets, with no results. Really hopeful Nzymes will work. Go check them out on their website.

I use it on my English bulldog about once every 10 days. The vet ran out and we used a chlorhexidine-only shampoo, and boy do we regret it. This shampoo, plus miconazole powder (available in the athlete's foot section of the pharmacy) keeps the fungus at bay.

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!!

For my dogs and the other dogs I've used it on (my friend's and my parents dogs) - I use it twice the first week, and then once a week after that. It is really amazing stuff and works very well -

I'm just a customer, not a vet. My dog is a small West Highland Terrier. I bathed him twice a week for 3 weeks, now we're down to once a week. Not sure how long we'll continue that routine, but he's doing awesome!!!

The most my vet has ever said to use it is every few days if there is a flare up. I've never had a problem with using it a couple of times a week, but I'd check in with your vet. I also use Dove daily moisture conditioner after to prevent dryness.

I have to be honest. I do not know. Never had my dog diagnosed with Cheyletiella. I have a Parsons Jack Russell Terrier. This shampoo is the first go to treatment that usually does the job before having to go the the vet. My dog occasionally gets a rash on his whole underside. Bumpy, red, and sometimes oozy. He's nerotic and can aggresively itch making the condition worse in matter of 3 days. Chest, armpit, belly and down to the insides of his hind legs. If I see him itching a lot for at least 2 days and see any signs of a rash, he gets a Malaseb Shampoo bath. It usually stops his itchiness quickly if done early, and the rash doesn't have time to progress. He loves the stuff. I truly think he associates the shampoo with irradicating the itchiness. I've put off a couple of times addressing his condition and the rash got bad. It took longer for the healing process, but it does work. During the warmer months, I also have him on Frontline treatment. He doesn't have fleas or ticks or lice problems, but it seems to help in preventing getting a particular skin mite. Sorry I couldn't help with addressing your specific question.

I Purchased it after noticing the bug issues. It worked for me. Also, as suggested by my allergist, I wash it with HOT water after every two weeks.

I would just call the company on the bottle, to make sure that it would be safe for you pet. Not all pets arealike. My Anya was so sensitive, that if there was doubt, then I would just call the natural company. She was on only Natural remedies, treatments,....etc. Hope this helps guide you in the right direction.

Hi Deborah. I haven't used this product in a while but it did seem like I was going through a tub about every 3.5 - 4 weeks. I have two labs 70 and 65 lbs so they needed more because of their weight. I must say I didn't see a HUGE improvement with my one dog but a friend of mine swears by this product. When I did use it, I mixed it with their food and my dogs ate it right up. It's worth a try since it has a lot of other good "stuff" in it for them!! Good luck and let me know if you see any improvement!!

It worked well for our dog and it has a really nice smell too! Our dog wasn't itching so much as loosing the fur. You can get a hot spot spray (I believe hartz makes it), that has hydrocortisone and aloe for helping with the itching between washings too. �

I actually started getting an allergic reaction from it (rashes and itchiness). So I stopped using it. However, the time I was using it, it didn't make a noticeable difference.

my Italian greyhound is pretty petite and it works great on him. I admit tho its a little bulky under his neck. We just use it for car rides etc...not daily around the house as then I think it would be kind of a nuisance to him...but it does the trick...he only got sprayed the first 3-4 times of use and never been sprayed since he knows that if its on he doesn't bark...its calming actually bc I think in general hes a nervous Nellie and I wondered how he'd respond...it calms his over reaction of barks (fast food drive thrus, picking up kids at busstops etc) he doesn't even bark (but he does excitedly go to the window of the car and etc so it doesn't make him sit subdued and shameful at all) my Italian greyhound is pretty petite and it works great on him.

No, I just checked the label and it clearly states "For Dog Use Only." I'd suggest TicTacs or Altoids to help with your problem. :-) j/k! If you need more info, I can take a pic of the label/instructions and email that to you. Take care!

I read that was just an old wives tale. I use it to help her skin from being too dry & give her a shinier coat. For fleas & ticks I use Trifexis. 1 chewable tablet once a month. Haven't seen a flea or tick in years.

When I use it, I just plug the laundry sink, run the water, and squirt some in so while it's filling it's sudsy. I try to keep my pug in there for about 10 min since that seems to be the standard for medicated shampoos. I"ll suds him up with more betadine directly or medicated shampoo, let it sit on him and do his teeth, his ears, and then squirt his paws directly and wipe them down while they're soaking in the diluted tub and then rinse. No official time.....just convenience on my part and trying to get some benefit out of it. I use the 10 min mark as guidelines and then do what works for the moment and adjust accordingly.

Has anyone else broken out in a rash? I am beginning to develop a rash after a week or so of just taking two pills per day with my evening meal. I haven't pin-pointed the cause of the rash...and wondering if it's a common side affect of the pills?

We have been using it on our Shitz Tzu's face only but certainly have used it several times between grooming's and have had not problems with it at all. We've been very pleased with the results, his face looks, feels and smells clean, we've not used it daily but only weekly or as needed (his eyes run and get smelly). All I can suggest is trying it daily and see how it goes, if it looks like there's a problem back off to every other day or a couple of times a week. Good Luck

A co-worker gave me a bottle of certified organic Black Seed Oil (different brand) for arthritis and joint pain. I began taking 1 teaspoonful daily then, increased to 2 teaspoonfuls the second week. I ate something that caused an acute allergic reaction and I developed a rash. Unlike previous allergic reactions when the rash would take a week or more to heal, this time the rash was gone in less than 24 hours as if it had never existed. Wow!

I'll bet you can use it! It's really sticky and thick, so make sure your skin absorbs all of the oils before feeding baby again. I used this for my baby's bum actually! I had one bad case of diaper rashes when my son was about 1 month old. It cleared the rashes up within hours, and now that he's almost 15 months, I still apply it to his bum every night. He hasn't had rashes since. I keep a bottle for myself as well for my chapped hands. Works like a charm!
