Have 2 cats. One died in Nov. 2025. We thought because the one cat remaining was grieving and depressed that he had developed a soothing mechanism of excessive grooming. He was licking and scratching for months and started to lose lots of fur. Took to vet did stool, urine and blood analysis. Lab results provided that cat is in general good health for a senior cat. Cat had no fleas, no ringworm, no open or scabbed sores, no urine or blood problems, just dry skin and dander flakes. Was suggested by vet to try prescribed prednisolone which I thought to use as a last resort. However in the interim decided to try giving the cat a kids benadryl to see if it would help calm his apparent urge to itch and scratch. It didn't. Then ordered this shampoo and gave the cat a bath. On the day after the bath noticed the cat has greatly subsided his constant licking and scratching. Will see how it goes, if his fur grows back and will provide an update after a couple of months. So far so good.

Our Vet. suggested this shampoo for our Pomeranian. He had a tendency to get an oddly, oily/dry coat using other hypoallergenic/unscented shampoos. This shampoo has a slight scent to it (nothing fancy or bad), but works excellent on him. I’m a dog groomer and always am looking for the best products for my and my client’s dogs. So far this shampoo has worked very well.

We primarily use this for our two horses and it keeps them germ free. We also use it for our cat; it gets her very, very clean for a long time between baths and it has no side effects. And we've used it for 10 years on our dogs (we are currently between puppies at the moment).

The Allivet price for this gallon of special shampoo for my allergy dog was half the price that my vet was charging in his office. Not only are Allivet's prices excellent, but I certainly appreciated the convenience of the quick delivery straight to my front door. I will definitely become a repeat customer.

The manufacturer/merchant from who I had been buying the 4% chlorhexidine before is no longer selling that strong of a solution. I spent much time searching the internet for the 4%. Didn't find it sold anywhere til today. Yay! My dog has weird sebbhoric-type skin issues that no vet can seem to figure out what it is. I've tried all sorts of shampoos and allergy meds. I homemake my dog's food. He gets sufficient amounts of omega 3s (and 6). This shampoo seems to keep his skin issues from getting horribly worse - though they do continue to progress negatively. Oatmeal shampoos do not help. ACV irritates. After using the Chlor 4% shampoo, I rinse my dog with a diluted rinse of Betadine (povidone iodine). It seems to reduce his inflamed breakouts on his skin, as well as providing a bacteria fighting layer o his skin.

MY DOGS REQUIRE 4% CHLORHEXIDINE FOR THEIR SKIN. I HAVE 2 ENGLISH MASTIFFS SO I NEED A SIZEABLE AMOUNT OF SHAMPOO. BUYING IN BULK IS A MUCH BETTER VALUE FOR ME.

This shampoo is awesome. It basically stops skin irritation in its track and is excellent in ridding the skin of bacteria that can cause problems. I am elated that I can find the 4% strength on Allivet and will tell everyone I know about you guys.

Because our dogs have allergies, we opted to use a hypo allergenic shampoo on the recommendation of our vet. It has been keeping their coats clear and healthy. No complaints.

My dog had some rash like bumps on his skin. The shampoo I had been using was not working, so I tried this one and they were gone. I bathe him once each week and am very pleased with how well he responds.

Helps keep my poodle comfortable. Make sure that when you lather the dog you leave on the solution for 5 minutes in order to make sure that it works the way it ought to.

Cat Odor Off is a cat owners dream. I recommend it because it works. Even if your cat doesn't normally make a mess, have it handy just in case. you won't regret it.

My dog kept scratching her skin to the point where she was bald in some areas. My vet told me about this shampoo and once I got it, started bathing her twice a week until she stopped scratching then once there after. Love this product.

The only shampoo we use to soother our dogs itchy skin. Once she gets a bathe her itching stops. It's a great shampoo and when I lather her up I leave it on for a few minutes before I wash her off.
