Noticeable Relief and a Little Goes a Long Way
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this product in exchange for my honest review. I’ve used the Veterinary Formula Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Shampoo a couple of times now and have already seen improvement in my dog’s comfort. The scent is mild and not overly chemical, which I really appreciated. The directions were clear and it lathered super well. I only needed a small amount to cover his whole coat, so the bottle will definitely last (especially since he's an XXL dog.) After the first use, I noticed instant relief once he dried. By the second wash, he was noticeably less itchy and his skin seemed less dry. He wasn’t dealing with major redness, but this definitely helped with overall irritation. If your dog deals with dry, itchy skin and you want something that feels gentle but works, this shampoo is a great go-to.

Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medication Shampoo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before the spray: My dog was itching nonstop with red patches and constant licking. Tips for best results: Spray evenly, rub into coat, and reapply after outdoor playtime. Changes after use: Less itching, calmer skin, shiny coat, and my pup finally relaxed again.

Works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hot Spot & Itch Relief Medicated Shampoo worked wonders for my dog’s itchy skin. After just one wash, the redness calmed down and she wasn’t scratching nearly as much. It rinses clean and leaves her coat soft without a strong medicated smell. The only challenge is keeping it on for a few minutes before rinsing, but the relief it gives makes it worth it.

Comfort for Baloo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This medicated shampoo has been a great solution for Baloo’s hot spots and itchy skin. After just a couple of baths, his irritation started to calm down and his coat looked much healthier. It lathers well, rinses easily, and leaves him clean without drying out his skin. I’m happy to see Baloo more comfortable and free from constant scratching.

Great Shampoo!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a mini goldendoodle named Penny, who is 14 and not the biggest fan of bath time. Every once in a while we notice her itching and licking, so we were excited to give the Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hot Spot Shampoo a try. Bath time was actually pretty easy. The formula lathered well, rinsed out quickly, and didn’t leave any residue behind. I followed the directions by massaging it into the irritated spots and letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Overall, it’s been such a helpful addition to our routine, and I love that it’s gentle enough for her sensitive skin.

Great for dogs who have skin allergies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so glad I found this shampoo! My dog has sensitive skin and often chews her paws and belly from allergies. The medicated formula really calmed her irritation and gave her noticeable relief after just a few washes. She did great with both the shampoo and the spray version her skin looks healthier and she seems so much more comfortable now. Highly recommend for pups with itchy skin or skin issues.

Hot spot and itch relief
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in tampa and being at the beach or pool often my dog needs frequent baths, and this hot spot shampoo has been a lifesaver! It’s gentle enough for regular use but tough on irritation. My boy has sensitive skin and this has made such a difference. The redness and itching calmed down after just a couple washes, and his coat looks shiny and feels soft every time. I love that it soothes his skin without any harsh smell or residue. Bath time is no longer a struggle, and I feel good knowing I’m using something safe and effective. The smell is also amazing!! If your pup deals with hot spots or sensitive skin, this shampoo is a must-have!

No Itch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it comes to my dog he loves going for walks. He loves exploding through grassy fields but is allergic to grass and dust mites so his paws get very red and itchy which makes him lick his paws constantly which makes the itchiness worse. After just using this soap for the first time I noticed it helped with the itching. He still have day where his constantly licks his paws, but the redness is going away day by day. If your dog deals with itchy red skin or hot patches this is a good soap to try.

Lather up some relief
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have a Golden mix, you probably know the struggle with itchy skin and the dreaded hot spots! My dog is constantly finding new ways to get irritated skin, especially in the humid summer months here. I needed a reliable medicated shampoo in my arsenal for those inevitable flare-ups. This Hot Spot & Itch Relief shampoo has been a lifesaver. I checked the ingredients, and it's formulated with things like lidocaine and hydrocortisone, which work together to help numb the area and calm the inflammation and itching pretty quickly. It also has allantoin to help soothe and protect the skin. It lathers up nicely, which is a big plus for my dog's thick coat, and it rinses out clean without leaving a heavy residue. After a bath, my dog seems so much more comfortable and the constant scratching definitely subsides. It's a must-have product for any pup prone to itchy, irritated skin.
