DERMagicSkin Rescue Shampoo Bar, Lemongrass & Spearmint, 99% Organic, 3.75 oz.

Our Beagle has always had dry skin, and all of the "soothing oatmeal" dog shampoos weren't helping, at all. It also seemed like she only smelled nice and felt clean and shiny for a day or two after a bath. Like other shampoos were only covering the dry skin and "dog smell" instead of really cleaning it. I bathed her with this last week and she is still SO soft and shiny! She isn't scratching herself constantly anymore, and her skin seems way less flaky. I'm assuming that it's going to take a few more shampoos for the dandruff to totally go away and for her couple bald spots to grow back. I will try to update.And she does NOT smell bad! She doesn't smell like perfume either, she just kind of has no smell at all, which is fine with me as long as it's helping her dry skin. I think if your dog stinks after using this, maybe you just didn't rinse them well enough. The soap itself does smell kind of funny, but my dog doesn't stink. Its a small bar but I rubbed it directly on her fur and have shampooed her twice and it's barely made a dent in the bar, so I think it should last a while.Overall really happy with this and so relieved that she finally seems comfortable and clean and happy.

I am very allergic to sulfates so I can't even wash my dogs with the average pet shampoo. Found this soap through another site. Cleared up one dog's 'dandruff' and keeps the others' coats shiny and clean smelling (at least two weeks in the summertime - and we go running in the country twice a week). Another benefit - my dogs don't get fleas or ticks. (Yes, I use flea and tick treatment, but once you wash the dogs, the treatment becomes much less effective - and, with running in the country, they can pick up a lot).When my daughter brought home a different shampoo, I tried it. Within a week I noticed a tick on my bedspread!!! We went back to using this soap!Then, my five-year-old Heeler mix got allergic foliculitis on his head (between the ears) after being groomed at a kennel we left the dogs at for two nights. Should've known better, but I thought it would be okay just once. I used this soap every day for three days and the foliculitis went away. Nothing else. Just this soap.In order to make it last longer because it can get pretty soft after bathing three dogs in a row, I rinse the bar off and keep it out on a soap tray by my bath. Lasts quite awhile and I think it's so much better than the average shampoo. Plus, you're not putting awful chemicals on your dog's skin!

My vet recommended this for my dogs hot spots and it definitely helped. The soap bar itself smells good but when I used it on my hound dog mix, it made her smell worse, after she dried she smelt much better and she wasnt itching as much. It was also a little difficult to get a lather. If this were just a normal soap I wouldn't reccomend it but it benefited her skin condition. If your dog suffers from hotspots I would give it a try! The initial smell of wet dog outweighs the benefits it had! Teddy has had hot spots for about 8 years now and I've tried soap after soap and this one finally did the job. No hotspots that take the fur away this year and no come of shame! The first year in like 5 years!

An elderly friend's dog was diagnosed with Black Skin disease. While the dog didn't lose all of her hair, she lost all of her undercoat, her guard hairs thinned out, her skin was crusty and black in small patches all over her body, and she smelled. My friend bathed her once, sometimes twice a week for months as prescribed by the vet. But, while the antibiotics and baths helped slightly, the dog's hair wasn't growing back and the odor remained. Needless to say, both my friend and her dog were miserable. I saw this product and thought it was worth a try. Within a few weeks, the dog's undercoat started growing back in, the crusty patches lessened, and the odor was almost eliminated. The baths were soon reduced to once a month. With the dog's skin feeling better, both my friend and her dog were happier. Since the shampoo worked so well, my friend's daughters bought it to use on their own dogs. I'd recommend this shampoo for any owner with a dog who has a skin issue or for dogs for whom the vet has recommended regular baths as part of their treatment.

I began using this specific dermagic shampoo bar 3 weeks ago, based upon the recommendation of NZYMES.com. My golden retriever has been on this program for nearly two months due to hot spots and itchy skin problems. For the first 5 weeks on this program, I did weekly baths using dermagic's liquid shampoo - peppermint tea tree oil. I have noticed a significant difference in the level of itchiness, which coincided with my change in the two products. Charlie became MUCH itchier when I switched to the bar. In fact, he developed a large lesion on his neck from vigorous scratching. His coat seems quite a bit drier to me and shedding has also increased significantly. I will be switching back to the shampoo soon and just hope that is the best decision for him. It's impossible for me to say conclusively that the bar is the cause of the increase in skin irritation, as we are treating a systemic yeast infection. I can only report on the timing of events.
