Exceptional Product
During my search for ways to make my 'allergic to everything' Scotty stay comfortable during the height of allergy season my vet recommended Malapet Medicated Shampoo. This is the product that does the trick for us. Within a month of twice a week baths with this crystal clear, fresh scented shampoo my little Duffy's constant scratching and carpet rubbing were only an irritating memory. I even take this shampoo to the groomer when we go. It's been a godsend. This shampoo is quite thick and I've found wetting Duffy down and then applying the shampoo to my hands to rub in works better than applying it directly to his coat. I've now used this product for over a year, alternating it with a mild oatmeal shampoo for Duffy's weekly baths, with excellent results

Great Product
This stuff works great! I gave her a bath as soon as I got it and noticed right away that she stopped scratching. I felt so bad for her and have tried several different options and nothing worked. This shampoo is amazing! I wish I knew about it sooner.

MALAPET SHAMPOO
WE HAVE A BLACK PUG WHO FOR YEARS HAS SUFFERED FROM ITCHY, SCALY, FLAKING PATCHES ON HER SKIN. THE VET HAD PRESCRIBED PREDNISONE, ANTIHISTAMINES & FISH OIL. ALTHOUGH THE TERRIBLE SCRATCHING LESSENED, THE SKIN NEVER CLEARED UP. WE TRIED MALAPET SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND IN ONE SHAMPOO THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING. AFTER HER SECOND SHAMPOO, HER SKIN WAS CLEAR WITH NO MORE TERRIBLE DANDRUFF. A GREAT PRODUCT WHICH WE FOUND BY ACCIDENT. WHY AREN'T VETS AWARE OF IT?.

great on my dog
My dog always had flakey skin even after baths. I used this shampoo and put apple cider vinegar in the last rinse water and no more dandruff. Plus she smells nice and clean and her coat shines. I recommend this shampoo and the vinegar rinse.I'll keep buying it. Worked great.

Malapet Shampoo is used to treat fungal infections of the skin and ringworm is a fungal infection. However, it would be better to use Clotrimazole Cream 2 times a day for 14 days to treat this condition instead.
My cat has one long patch of hair that he has licked and pulled out, it is warm to touch and he doesn't seem to bothered, yet it bothers me. I was given one of those opened holed scratching houses from a neighbor, and it seemed after in he had gone in and alid down in it, I noticed the fur on the carpet. Is Malapet a good coice to use, he now has traveled in a long streak down his back.
