Eqyss Grooming Prod 091-10640 Micro-Tek Pet Shampoo, 16 Oz

Good product! Helps keep hot spots under control! Smells nice.

Update: April 22, 2015 I got my ginger cat's allergy results in: Rice, Lamb, Milk, Egg, Pork, Corn, Beef, Tuna, Salmon, 5 different types of grasses, 6 different weeds, oak and mulberry trees, and several different types of mold. I had ran out of this and tried a different organic tea tree shampoo for my orange cat. It helped a bit but no where near as helpful as this product is for him. It is Spring time and my poor ginger kitty is turned back into the seriously itchy cat he was before. I am going to be buying this product for him again. Nothing works to help sooth his skin, excessive grooming, and scratching like Eqyss. I am going to make sure I keep this on hand and in stock at the house from now on. This product works great in conjunction with his allergy medicine, Fortiflora probiotics and prescription food. When his itching is really bad I give him a bath 2x a week, per recommendation of my veterinarian. My itchy dog LOVES this shampoo as well. It gives her days of relief. Thank you Eqyss for making such a wonderful product. =)) Update: May 27, 2014 I have now used this on one of my cats as well. A few months ago he started losing his hair. He has red patches where he just pulls it out or licks it out. The vet said he has allergies. I now have to take him back to get the allergy test done. This product gives him much needed instant relief when I bath him with it. It is the only thing I have found that does not hurt him and has helped his hair to start growing back as well. However, He HAS TO be bathed once a week in order for it to keep doing him good. The vet said I did good with using the EQyss products on my orange kitty. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have 3 dogs and 7 Indoor cats. The dogs get a bath once a week. The cats as needed, unless someone has non-rusting chainmail for me to wear while bathing them? They are big dogs 50 lbs, 70 lbs, and 100 lbs. I still have half a bottle of this left after 2 months of use on the cats and dogs. The fragrance is not as overpowering as some of the other reviews suggested. It does not bother any of our family or the animals. We actually like the way they smell after their bath. It certain helps with their scratching and licking. One of the dogs has a skin condition and will sometimes lose patches of her hair from it. Their coats look much better after using this, it does not take much undiluted. I wait until they are completely dry though, before spraying them with Adams Plus Flea and Tick Spray. If I do not then, they do start itching like they had not even been bathed. Sometimes I will even hold off until the next day to flea spray them. However for one of my dogs this keeps her from scratching so badly that she ends up with bald spots on her. She is short haired black lab/border collie mix and at five years old she weighs about 80 lbs. I will be buying more of this product. And probably a back up to keep on hand. Thank you. This is the best shampoo I have found for our animals, especially the dogs. Our biggest dog has no ear problems after being bathed with this shampoo as opposed to other brands we have tried.

Great product

I fully understand that every situation is different for each pet. With that being said this product blew me away. Long story short, we adopted a kitten at ten weeks old. Shortly after (one week) we took him to the vet because he had ear mites, runny eyes and constant sneezing. He actually broke the skin behind his ear because he scratched so much. We got loads of medicines for him and after about two weeks, everything was cleared up but now he had a big patch of something behind his ear where he had broken the skin. Back to the vet, he said it looked fungal but probably wasn't ringworm. Skipping lots of details....we find out it IS ringworm, but only after my daughter, my husband and myself get it too! At this point we have spent over $1,000 on adoption fees, vet visits, medication for the cat, co-pays for the three of us and medication plus band-aids (for humans you need to cover the spots at all times and change the band-aid three times a day, times three humans, times three spots on each of us.) Then, my mother in law becomes very ill and starts hospice. I take the cat back to the vet one more time and he tells me my options are to 1. leave the cat with him for three weeks while he treats him with lime-sulfur baths and the cat will be kept in isolation or 2. I can isolate him at home and bring him to the vet three times a week for the baths. I went home and sobbed my eyes out, knowing that both my kids were in love with this cat and with grandma being so very ill, I could not take their kitten away from them for three weeks. And I simply did not have the time or energy to keep him in isolation at our house while also caring for my mother-in-law. I sent up a prayer and ordered this shampoo. It came quickly (thank God!) and I trapped the poor kitten in the bathroom and gave him a bath (at this point he was 4 1/2 months old) He was SO GOOD! And this shampoo smelled GREAT. It says leave on the coat for five minutes, so I got a small space heater and just kept lathering him for the full five minutes, paying special attention the spot on his neck. He tolerated it very well. We bathed him three times a week for three weeks and guess what? Not only did we have the BEST smelling cat in the world, his ringworm was completely gone. I did do the whole sanitize everything in the house thing (twice) during this time and we did wash our hands after petting him AND kept him off the beds at our house, but I believe with all these things combined, it did the trick. During this time, my mother in law passed away and my kids took great comfort in loving on their kitten. I am so glad we decided to give this product a try and we didn't have to separate him from our family during a tough time. This shampoo smells so good I almost wish I had an excuse to bath him about once a month just to make him all shiny and fluffy! He is an expert bath taker now.

I have a German Shepherd. Her history: 2 tablets daily Omega 3-6-9, grain and chicken-free Holistic Select puppy/adult food, regular brushing, inside dog, current on vaccines and flea prevention K9 Advantix. The reason I'm saying all this is because people neglect to mention or do the above for their dog and it's nice to know what else someone can do to help their best friend. However, despite all of the preventative measures and a shoulder shrug from our vet, my dog scratched constantly 2-3 times a minute each and every day. It was horrible and I did not know what to do. I tried these shampoos before without difference: Sulfodene Medicated, Derma-Pet Benzoyl, Perfect Coat Oatmeal Shampoo, Mane 'n Tail Shampoo/Conditioner, and this Coal Tar. NOTHING WORKED by the way. I decided to try this next and I recieved it today. I know it's early and I will give an update as time progresses, but... IT WORKED!!! This shampoo has a syrupy consistency and seemed to latch onto the skin and coat. It was interesting and never experienced that before with others. It smelled SO good; I was in heaven while washing my dog. I did not use a lot of water, so don't do it, only to get enough water to get a thick lather and then I kept rubbing her coat and did my best to get down, under the undercoat and to her skin. I paid a great deal of attention to rubbing and massaging her skin, continuing to lather. I let is sit for a little over 5 minutes I suppose and then rinshed her off. The shampoo still seemed to have this awesome nourishing feeling after I rinsed it and then I let her air dry in the sun. I am not joking you, but she hasn't scratched, bit, licked herself since then and I am SOOOO happy. I would have paid well over $50 for a small bottle of this. This has saved my sanity and my awesome dog. So thank you, thank you and I hope this helps everyone. Diet and nutrients are important, so maybe if you're not seeing a drastic change, Omegas are crucial for the coat and skin quality as well as eliminating most posibilities for allergies or diseases. So, like I said, I hope this helps.
