Review: Prescribed by vet for pyoderma folliculitis on dog. - This is a good shampoo. It was prescribed by my dog’s vet for pyoderma folliculitis, which is a fancy term for hair follicle inflammation and a subsequent skin infection. My dog ( a golden retriever) had very flaky, cracked skin that smelled incredibly musty. So musty, I had to leave the room or have him leave the room, even after bathing him. The bacterial infection caused the smell and the follicle inflammation I presume the flaky skin. The vet prescribed this shampoo to be used 3x/ week for one month along with a course of oral antibiotics that he had to take for 10 days ( keflex twice a day) . It cleared up, but the vet said this will likely be a lifelong recurring issue as these dogs tend to have skin problems and are prone to allergies. It has now been several months and I noticed the flaky skin was returning and a little bit of smell although not as repugnant as before. So I started using it again. Ideally I would do this several times a week again, but bathing a big dog is not a quick 5 min chore so I can realistically do it once, maybe twice a week. We’ll see if I can keep it at bay without another trip to the vet for antibiotics. This shampoo uses benzoyl peroxide as it’s active ingredient and is antimicrobial and “flushes” the follicles. It is to be used on a dog that is not infected to keep potentially bad bacteria on the skin to a minimum to prevent an infection. if your dog smells as bad as mine did, you should probably take it to a vet. It doesn’t have a fruity or typical nice shampoo smell, but rather, it smells like a medicated shampoo. But that doesn’t matter to me. Hope this review helps!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many times a week did everyone take there dog a bath?**
A: I tend to wash him every two weeks

**Q: My short haired dog has what looks like a clogged pore or blackhead on her ear. Would this shampoo help to loosen the blemish up and resolve it?**
A: I use it to open the pores and flush out pollen on my mixed terrier so he does not get heat spots due an allergy.  It works for that.  The Benzyl Peroxide is the ingredient in the shampoo that does this.  It was recommended to me by his veterinarian.  Whether it would flush out a blackhead, I can not say.  But it might work on a clogged pore.

**Q: How long did it take to see results using this shampoo?**
A: I have used this shampoo since my dog was a puppy.  She is a miniature schnauzer.  This breed tends to have skin problems.  She has never had any skin problems since I have had her.

**Q: Where is this made?**
A: I highly recommend it , it has help my family member enough and still to this day I still recommend it to others STOP paying high cost at a Vet
