RenuPlexExtra Strength Medicated Dog Shampoo for Dry Skin & Mange

Our dog gets skin issues every summer, we can’t figure out whats triggering it and the vets have been less than helpful. It’s a black and red rash on his inner thighs/belly. In the past, we were able to keep it controlled or make it mostly disappear, but this year it absolutely exploded and spread to his sides and legs causing hair loss. All the things we’d used successfully in the past were having zero effect on it. He was miserable, bright red, itchy, flaky skin. Dog Benadryl made almost no difference, various creams and hot spot sprays did nothing, a different medicated shampoo had no effect. We decided to try this as a last ditch effort before trying the vet again. After 6 baths, he’s still itchy, but not nearly as bad as he was, and the redness has drastically improved. I’ve been using a dog blue butter in combination with the baths and he seems to feel much better. I’m going to continue to bathe him every few days and hope for even more improvement. I’m satisfied with this product, the bottle is a decent size, the smell is a bit strong but I don’t think a bad smell!

From the very first wash in this our 2 babies have been feeling much better! They stopped digging have alot more energy and can sleep the night away! We will keep using this shampoo from now on. It is kinda expensive but works better than anything else we have tried!

Helped with itchiness, and scabbing. Took serval washes to heal completely. Smells ok, not horrible like other reviews I read, it has a pleasant mild scent. It’s rather expensive tho

My dogs are healing very well just a MUST to follow directions exactly as it says. Consistently is the key. Great product.

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.
