My dog is part pit and st. bernard . He smells awful, fur feels greasy, sheds a ton (he's short-hair). Vet found nothing wrong. Will this help?

I was really pleased with this product. Within 2 weeks it resolved the hair loss issue with my cat. I would recommend. I don't know if your dog's symptoms would be a match for this product. It does have sulfur...so it will smell like eggs. You have to keep trying until you find what works for your pet. For price I would try. Best of luck. Thanks!

Try rinsing your dog with diluted apple cider vinegar after you bathe him. Vinegar should help with grease.

He probably has wet seborrhea. My lab mix goes from flaky dandruff to oily and smelly. The Synergy labs shampoo works great. Once she dries she smells nice and it lasts. If your dogs condition is really bad you may have to shampoo him again in about 3 or 4 days and then once more in another 3 days. After that you can return to normal routine. It got so bad on my dog she eventually started losing hair. After the 2nd shampoo it had slowed down dramatically and by the third hair loss had stopped. I recommended this to other family members and they love it. It gets rid of that awful smell and helps their skin. Great stuff. He probably has wet seborrhea.

I have a sheltie he has problem with fungus and odor and scratching with it. This shampoo is to harsh sometimes so I have to watch his skin. I have to spray moisturizer on it. Every dog is different. You are going to have to try and see what is best for your dog. Sometimes I get a shampoo and think it is working good and can use a while and I have to change again. It is frustrating but love my dog. Hope I gave you some insight. Good Luck.

You may wish to consider trying him on a grain-free diet. Many dogs who are sensitive to grains exhibit these same symptoms. It is impossible to get rid of the smell and the greasy skin/fur leaves permanent stains on fabrics. Give him a month or so on any good grain-free dog food (read the feeding instructions because you'll need to feed your dog less than you would on grocery-store pet foods) and see how it goes. Can't hurt, might fix the problem completely.

I do not know about the greasy feeling for this shampoo. I use it because my dog has a skin irritation That sppear as small red bumps on his skin and they itch. This shampoo worked beautifully. It has a slight medicine smell when shampooing but goes away as the fur dries. You may want to try Dawn dish washing liquid due to the dog feeling greasy. I hope this helps and good luck.

I do not recommend this shampoo. My dogs have chronic allergies and skin conditions. This stuff made them worse. Try Malaseb, Douxo Chlorhexidine, or Kalaya Emu Oil Shampoo. These have all helped my dogs. The SynergyLabs shampoo is awful, smells like moth balls, and I had to take my dogs to the vet to clear the damage it did.

This helped with Max, Ausie mix. His coat was greasy, and after a shampoo, his fur was soft. He has long hair. Also helped with the odor.

It almost sounds like he has Seborrhea. WebMD actually has a pet section with symptoms

We used is with our Portuguese water dog and it did seem to help is coat feel soft. He was not a big fan of the fragrance (almond).

It depends on the size of your dog. If you do try this, don't start out with the recommended dosage, give lower amount and build up to the recommended dose. It can cause loose stools at first. The other response that nothing works for shedding is true, but what I like about the Shed Relief is that is slows it down, if groomed on a regular basis (brushing), you should see a difference in your dog's coat. This is also the time of year when dogs are losing winter coats, so there will be alot more shedding right now.

No , not at all , my dogs skin and fur are amazing I'd check a food allergy. Stop using it , then check. My dogs coats are flat out gorgeous. Also any topical tick and flea med can affect skin. Flea collars - other animals.......

Yes, Yes yes. The smell bothered me but it would not most people. We have a Shit tzu and she tangles bad. You spray this on after you bathe her (me before I shampoo) and rub it in good. I spray heavier where she mats the most. Just follow the instructions. I could not believe it worked using it first and then washing it off. It is good for a week or so. You will still have to clip the knots. The instructions say you can use it on a dry dog just to touch them up. I cannot do that due to allergies but it is a great product.

It sure is. My pit mix had a skin condition for years that left the back half of her with no hair. It looked like she was wearing a half sweater. This shampoo cleared up her skin and she has full hair growth now. The shampoo isn't especially strong smelling the neem oil does the trick.

Helps but depends on how old the dog is and past dental hygiene. Our little dog has a poor history and was old when we got him and have had several teeth pulled the first time he went to the vet. Since using this daily his teeth has gotten better but still stinky. Our other dog whose younger has been great and doing better.

I have a boxer pit mix and it didn't work for him at all. I would have to say no. St Bernards are bigger and need strength and this didn't effect my dog in any way. A butter spray bottle works better for my dog. I would have to say, don't waste your money on this item. Firm voice and maybe some private lessons.

It is possible that it has helped a little with shedding. Our dogs love the taste of the liquid when we sqirt it on their dog food. We purchased this hoping it would help our older Lab's joints. Our vet recommended this. We are going to continue using this product for awhile to see if it helps any.

It really has no effect on shedding of the coat, that is a more breed specific problem or can be a health issue. This shampoo just smells really great and the scent is long lasting. I use the spray in between bathing.

My English bulldog didn't have any type of condition but it's worth a try. Probiotics are good for their digestive system.

Probably not. However if you spray it down with some vinegar full strength, and air it out for a few days, that might kill off some of the old dog smell.

I cannot say for sure, but the ingredients are more mild without all of the common additives that would cause skin sensitivity issues. If the dog has long hair, I would probably not recommend it unless you have something else to help with detangling.

I really don't know. I have only used the one with "coat" as my dog had horrific shedding problem with her other issues. I would imagine "coat" might give you more fats to help with that problem but i don't know for sure....

I think you may have a problem. The unit itself is a small box about 2" x about 1.5" with the spray nozzles sort of in the middle of the short end. They need free space to spray out. If your dog's hair is longer than that, and thick, you might have a problem. Alternatively, it does spray pretty powerfully, so perhaps the odor and the wet fur will be enough for your dog to detect it and respond accordingly. :-)

Would be good if you could expand on what you mean by body odor. If the odor is a yeasty smell, then yes, this will help to some extent, but candida (yeast) is a much bigger issue than a probiotic can solve. Diet changes are important if that is the problem. I won't go into it here, no reason if that isn't your dog's problem. As far as just regular old 'dog smell', it has been my experience that a proper diet (raw or at least a high quality grain free) go a long way in eliminating that, too. Diet can also keep nasty dog breath to a minimum. I hope you get things figured out! Good luck!

YES!! My vet recommended a similar product for my dogs but I ended up getting this one because it was less expensive. One of them just lost 8 of his teeth because he's a senior dog. My vet said that after he gets his extractions, using this product will tremendously improve mouth odor. And it has!!
