Finally something that works!
My poor Irish Setter and I have been going around and around with her itchy skin. This all started back in July when I noticed she was scratching quite a bit. Well, I live in the country and she goes outside frequently, so I immediately thought she must have picked up some fleas. I couldn’t visually find any on her, but went ahead and gave her a flea-bath anyway. Not a single flea washed off her, but she seemed to be scratching a lot less after the bath, so I thought maybe I just didn’t SEE any of the fleas that came off her.A few days later she was back to scratching again. This time I noticed some tiny flakes in the fur along her back. I bathed her with some oatmeal (dog) shampoo to see if that helped, but within a day she was scratching like crazy… and the flakes were back again, so I bought some dog dandruff shampoo. I used the dandruff shampoo for a month but it didn’t seem to do anything whatsoever.I was starting to think that her itching was due to allergies, the heat (I live south of Dallas), or maybe even from just too much bathing and chemicals. First I tried some moisturizing shampoo for a couple weeks… didn’t help at all. Then I just plain stopped bathing her to see how that worked.The bathing was helping in a way… after two weeks without a bath I noticed that the fur along her back was starting to get thin and the skin there was dry and crusty. Worse yet, I noticed she had been scratching and chewing at her legs recently and all four had little red bumps.As a last-ditch effort to soothe her itching without paying for a vet visit, I tried this RenuPlex shampoo. I’ll be honest, I didn’t have high hopes for this stuff… I was already planning-out which day to take time off work to get her to the vet!I bathed her with the RenuPlex and it was an instantaneous transformation. My dog went from scratching, chewing, and rubbing against everything she could find BEFORE the bath, to bouncing around and playing like a little puppy AFTER the bath! It’s been two days now since I used this stuff and she’s still not scratching, and the red bumps on her legs are starting to disappear. I’m definitely going to be following the directions for this shampoo and bathing her again in a day or so!Some reviews stated that the smell of this shampoo was terrible. I personally didn’t think it smelled all that bad. It smells strongly like a combination of herbs… which is basically what it is… a combination of extracts/oils from plants. I will say this, it doesn’t linger too long on the dog. After the first day I could just barely smell it on her.Also, the shampoo seems to be good quality in that you don’t have to use the whole bottle for one wash. My dog is roughly 65lbs and has some long fur, and I only used about 1/4 (or a bit less) of the bottle for one bath.

literally gave this foundling her life!
I literally found this abandoned 4 month old near death. With the help of a few pills from the vet and every other day shampooing, she became the most precious healthy and happy dog! It did take about 3 months before I could put a collar on her. But this was a deadly case of demodectic mange.

Smell of tea tree
The smell could be improved an little more attention to the dry skin would be perfect to me Thank you

Blown away! Dramatic because we’ve been at this for a looooong time!
I’ve been tinkering with soothing teas to finish off my pup’s bath because he has an immediate die-off reaction, heats up the water I rinse him with, and his skin is painful and flinchey after medicated baths. When I saw this, and my favorite and most effective-to-date shampoo for co-bacterial and yeast infections with the mites: Dechra TrizChlor 4 Shampoo, 8-Ounce doubled (I’m looking at YOU Amazon, I have a big dog……), and knowing how much sulfur rocks, I gave this a shot.Woah.My dog’s 11, we’ve been at this medicated bath 2-3x/week for a few years now (never realized my home was toxic until mold split the seams and the roof leaked into the furnace, forcing us to evacuate in November when it got too cold). He waits while I put on the hose, get his towels out, decide which shampoo and/or rinse, etc. He knows he feels so much better after. But this all natural stuff is serious business. I have new respect for essential oils. With demodex and that d.gatoi “new” mite (not as deep as sarcoptic, which shampoo can’t treat…but got to my cat 🙁 ), they perform a mass exodus when I apply a topical poison but dislike topicals so much. “Wash your hands immediately!” the instructions say, but let it soak into your dog, no worries. (?!) I only see a mild response with medicated shampoos tho the benzoyl peroxide/sulfur has lately made the pup impatient during the 10 minute wait.I’ll coat him in bentonite clay that’s good and soaked, and let that dry in hopes of drawing the evil out..But this stuff.. Medicated Dog Mange Shampoo, Antifungal, etc (amazon mixes their reviews so calling it out) The poor guy he was literally backing into the back of the tub, wild-eyed with body language saying “I’m gonna bolt!!!” I’ve never seen that reaction before! Fur standing straight up, all down his back and legs as if he had chills. I know essential oils must be harsh on their sense of smell, but what was this reaction?!I’m learning the magic bullets, slowly. One is the right kind of oil to go into or coax the mite out of the follicle – jojoba and grapeseed are excellent for between bath evening flare-ups or dry skin. Then the essential oils really wake those monsters up! Antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal, and it’s “just” thyme, oregeno, sage, etc! The monsters must have gotten a bit active with this shampoo’s combination and the pup was freaking out! Afterwards he went to his sulking bed while I cleaned up the usual wads of fur and skin that are released by fungus/bacteria/mites that die off during the 10-minute soak period. That part is important – let it work for a bit before rinsing!Next I grabbed the ear cleaner to finish our routine (he usually waits impatiently for this step) and he was still sulking/sleeping? In that half hour, he was already weeping gunk and cheese in the usual spots – lower chest, a bit on the flank, and the sides/backs of legs. Wow. Mass exodus so quickly! And it came OUT, not stayed in! I was blown away.Since I go through phases wiping him down with oil + essential oils (now), I haven’t used this too consistently. It seemed like it hurt or at least irritated – his infection is deep and he needs more healing time of Lidocaine+cortisol (topical) after a large blow-out. Also, almost no flaking. Usually when I do a M-C-T rubdown, he’s a flakey mess the next day because the die-off in-and-just-under the skin was from a mineral oil base, so the skin just lifts. Not with this stuff. It excreted properly, if that’s even possible. I’ll see about adding photos after. His joint inflammation seemed to ease as well because I had a big, galloping puppy hopping down the aisles with me at Lowe’s the next day. My heart smiled!(and anyone who saw, the goofball!)We have a long road ahead, but this is becoming a staple in my arsenal. Sorry if TMI but if you have a dog suffering skin issues and are over the “oh it’s just food allergies” game, you probably know.Somewhat related – human rosacea forums online (red inflammed skin, acne-like, immune-based and hence prone to mites breaking homeostasis) talk about applying various oils or tea tree oil and they say they feel “instant, crazy activity”, then lots of sand and grit being expelled by the next morning. (I even look up horse forums for treatment options for the poor pup, as no vet or vet dermatologist has found a single mite, if they even look…). The humans say their skin clears significantly after. So I’m taking the my dog’s extreme reaction and post-bath skin weeping as good news. I wish vets would believe photos or that owners might actually know their dogs better than their 5-minute exam, sigh.I continue to wipe him down with iodine water (part of frequent foot baths), use various supplement rotations, but I’d say his “migrating fatty lipomas” are getting smaller, breaking up, and moving around more frequently than just becoming grapefruit sized mass of infection and mite colonies/waste. This is positive.Also, research on the off-label use of Nex-guard for demodex (a flea medicine chewable like heartworm meds) is all over the NIH site and spreading for nixing demodex in 3-6 months vs years of near-toxic ivermectin and sulfur-lyme dips. My dog just is almost through his 3rd month so I’m headed back to vet for more. His case was a lot worse than he ever let on but the combo of meds and this new shampoo, I think I finally have some hope!Totally recommend.Now if they could come out with a cat product…
