Vet Basics Lime Sulfur Dip- Concentrated Solution- for Dogs, Cats & Horses- 16oz

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Saves the hassle of trying various products that claim easier or cleaner than this. It smells, the whole process is terrible for you and the animal PLUS you still have to do due diligence and treat the house, bedding, yard and repeat the whole thing in a few days to cover the life cycle or any time delay that could have missed a few here and there. Your pet and family will be better if you strictly follow a proven plan. And yes sometimes your individual circumstances or situation may create more complex or additional treatment if you can’t contain, or don’t have help, or tolerance/resistance has been a problem. Some treatment works only on specific applications or has dangerous side effects that limit its use, but I can tell you think worked for killing fleas on my cat. I had to repeat it a few times because he is a cat and doesn’t listen when I explain not to lick his paws (after treatment or exiting the litter box} and not to wander off in the garage or front patio where treatment is in process). Hiring a professional is great if you can afford it but only has its limitations if it’s not covering every aspect of how it can continue or how it can be reintroduced. The money pit will continually return. So take a few days off and get some assistance to tackle this in one big swoop. Smell like an egg in private and throw away everything that can potentially inhibit your progress ( trust me if you think you have enough paper towels and buy-in from family or friends, it’s probably not enough so get a few extra and have a emergency back up supply). If you don’t have a commercial laundry facility in house then you won’t be able to tackle a large project like this without paper towels and clothing you are specifically going to treat like hazmat - or any other contact surface or defined separation of areas treated and untreated to prevent tracking or spreading even if seemingly insignificant or overly cautious. You can’t be too careful and most peo0e going through this will have long battles where this comes back to haunt you. If you don’t see any dint assume it’s not there. Take shoes off and wash hands even if gloves are on and if you enter an area assume you or it is contaminated unless you control that. It’s often one flea that hitch hikes in that started the whole mess.

My dog, Chap, has an auto-immune disease that affects hair growth. He barely has any hair. He developed a stye on his eye. He received antibiotics for this, which I think caused his immune system to cower and so he developed demodectic mange. I decided to try this instead of presumed meds the vet wanted to give and this cleared my dogs skin right up. I could see a difference in his skin within a day…..a major improvement within 5 days. It doesn’t smell good but it’s not as bad as some people in the reviews make it out to be….I guess it might if mix and apply it inside. I mixed and applied mine outside. You don’t rinse it off so there is a faint aroma that lingers on him but I’m ok with that…as long as he feels and looks better. I highly recommend this stuff!

This stuff is nothing short of amazing in my opinion. I mixed in a bucket the directed 4 ounces to one gallon of water and used a large sponge making sure I got under the fur. I noticed an improvement in is comfort immediately following and progressing to today (day four) NO itching at all and the skin on the itchy hairless areas are toned down to pink, but not red or inflamed. The problem still exists so I am staying with it and dosing him again tomorrow, day five as recommended and expecting even more improvement. I had planned on giving him a bath prior to the first treatment (and he will get one this time with soothing oatmeal shampoo) but I was trying to beat the rain and wanted some instant relief for him. Honestly, I was not expecting such good results. Yes it smells but nothing unbearable.

Awful smell. Not sure if it’s working as two out of three dogs are still itchy, but not as much. Do not wear silver jewelry on hands, will turn them black.

Item is goodBut delivery was horrible. They put it on a lawn chair by the shed. No where near my front door or my house.
