Arava Natural Medicated Dog Shampoo – Anti Yeast Anti Itch Dog Shampoo - Healthy Skin & Coat - First Aid in Hot Spots Ringworm Scrapes Abrasions & Dermatologic Infections - 400ml / 13.5 fl oz

If you have a French Bulldog or any dog that suffers from environmental allergies, do them a “life-saving” favor and BUY THIS SHAMPOO! I was hesitant at first because of the obvious high cost but I’ll never be without it again and keep reading to find out why. My French Bulldog, Rocky, is 9 years old and has always had allergies...almost all of them do, poor things. He itches CONSTANTLY. I tried Benadryl, Zyrtec, switching foods (and I feed him HIGH-END food, like $80 for 11 lbs food) still, he itched. I wiped him down after coming in from outside, washed his bedding, made sure he didn’t have fleas...he itched. Enter this shampoo. If you have a Frenchie, you know their “sounds”. As soon as I lathered him up in it per the directions he gave a Frenchie “sigh/huff of relief” and it didn’t stop there. He normally scooted from the hair dryer that I use to make sure I completely dry his fur with after I bath him. After using this shampoo, he was so relaxed from being rid of the allergens and the “itchies” that he literally looked like he had just taken a toke and he just sat there totally happy and chill. He also slept the best I’ve ever seen him sleep for about a week afterwards. He normally is a restless and LOUD (aka snores) sleeper but after using this shampoo he sleeps soundly and is way more relaxed and happy. His eyes are literally brighter afterwards because you can tell he feels SO MUCH BETTER. His fur is also so soft and the smell is pleasant. As noted earlier I’ve used this shampoo for about 2.5-3 months now and I’ve noticed the effects last about 1-1.5 weeks before he needs another bath. BEST INVESTMENT AND SHAMPOO I’VE EVER FOUND FOR ALLERGIES. STOP HESITATING AND BUY IT NOW *no free products or discounts etc given for this review. I’m just THAT IMPRESSED.

This is the best shampoo I have ever used. My dog is almost 16 now and she gets dermatitus. After one use-the patches disappeared. I am very happy and I wish the bottle came in a larger size..Also, would love to know I this company makes a conditioner as well.. I also want to comment on the aroma. I was concerned that it would be just overwhelming, but it is just absolutely the most perfect aromatic blend. It is a pleasure to use.

My dog has had really bad skin allergies the last 2 years. I've spent lots of money taking her to the vet, changing her diet to prescription, no grain, no chicken, buying oil supplements, allergy pills, antibiotics etc.because her skin would get pustules then crust over and her hair would fall out. Sometimes she would scab so bad that she would bleed. She would only have this issue when the warmer weather would start up, but in Texas, we pretty much have warm weather 9 months out of the year. Throw in rainy season, it gets even worse. Well she started up again about 2 months ago and I was tired of giving her antibiotic pills and I sound this medicated wash. There is a huge improvement in her skin and coat, but she still has the scabs and flaking skin due to the infection. I've only used this 2 times a week for the last 2 weeks. The shedding of her hair has lessened and again her coat feels so soft. I am also adding some coconut oil to her skin to help with the flakes. But this shampoo is a dream come true. I would have given 5 stars but the smell isn't the best. It is tolerable but I wished it didn't smell as medicated. I definitely recommend this product.

It does have a medicinal tea-tree scent but it does reduce the itching.

It helped my dog skin, she is much happier now.

The only positive thing I can say about this shampoo is that it lathers up nicely and made my shorkie's hair soft and shiny. Unfortunately this shampoo made my dog's itching worse and it has such a strong odor that the smell made me nauseous. So while this expensive shampoo might help some dogs, it didnt help mine and was a total waste of money.

updated: This stuff is still a miracle worker - we had another foster with a terrible skin condition - the last two photos of her transformation were taken 4 weeks apart This shampoo is worth it's weight in gold. We foster for a local rescue so I've seen dogs in bad shape, nothing prepared me for what I saw in our most recent foster. I got a call on June 21st about an "elderly" dog with two hours left in the shelter. I was told she had some hair loss but when I got her I almost died. The hair loss wasn't the worst problem - her skin had been destroyed and the smell of dead yeasty skin was over powering. Anyone holding her was covered in flakes of dead skin, she hurt all over from the cracking - she was so raw and so dry it felt like holding a dinosaur - I didn't know where to start, the vet was closed on a Sunday so I saw I could get this delivered by morning and figured it was worth a shot. The difference was immediate - after her first bath she itched less, by day 2 the flaking was under control. By the end of the first week we could see healing - we continued daily baths for two weeks and have since dropped back to every other or every three days - you can see in the second picture her skin is beautiful and we have substantial hair growth in just under a month. It turns out the "elderly" dog is barely a year old at best guess and she has more personality and love to give than any I've met in a long time. The vet never used this shampoo and after seeing the change is adding it to her suggestions. I did use this in conjunction with Omega 3 and Brewers yeast supplement in her food although the supplements are a new addition as it took a while for her to be able to hold down regular food so I believe the bulk of the improvement was with the shampoo. (the first 4 pictures are of her the first day or 2, the second two are from this week - almost 4 weeks later - it's hard to see in the photos but the growth is amazing and her skin is completely healed)

OK, I’m gonna start out by saying if you have a French bulldog, you already know! Anytime I have dealt with any kind of shampoo that has natural ingredients. It has always been for the absolute best! My poor French bulldog has been dealing with the absolute worst inter digital cysts in his little toe beans, I am that French bulldog mom that does everything you can possibly imagine!!!! he is on a very specific diet, the booties when we go for a walks… you get the drift… I have been to a holistic veterinarian that had recommended a shampoo called 4 Legger, which is very much like this product! And I was blown away by how amazing this shampoo has made my little boys, skin and fur feel!!! he’s not licking nonstop, I have gotten compliments on how shiny his coat is! The ingredients are all natural and there is a reason plant medicine works!!! I live in Florida where it has been raining every single day and no matter how much you try to avoid the mucky wet grass, it’s just unavoidable sometimes, even after I put him in the tub after every walk to wash his feet off and dry them immediately! I am so glad I found this product and have told all of my Frenchy friends about about it. I was a little sad. I didn’t get the new upgraded Bottle but as long as it’s still the same ingredients, I’m happy with it in these pictures, you can see absolutely how bad his feet were compared to how they are now.!!! absolutely give this product 10 stars!! Look at my boy sparkling!!!
