Two sensitive dogs washed once a week with Hexadene. Both have clear, itch-less skin as long as I stick with Hexadene.

If you dog or cat has severe allergies, this is the best shampoo to help soothe their coat. Been using it for years, nothing else compares.

Keeps skin issues under control

Our Golden Retriever is allergic to everything. We use this shampoo 2X a week to keep his skin as free from allergens as possible. The coat is soft and skin stays balanced. Excellent price.

Our Pit-Beagle mix struggled with skin issues for years, often needing steroids and antibiotics for his belly rashes. The poor guy would scratch himself in misery constantly. My vet recommended Hexadene baths twice a week, leaving it on for 10 minutes (which he HATES)... and it has worked like a charm! He is way more comfortable, we have not needed any medication, and he doesn't stink! This has been an awesome product for us, and so far we have not had a recurrence of his terrible itchy skin. This is a fantastic product, and my dog Willie is much happier now that we use it. (except for the part where he stands there sudsy for 10 minutes and shakes like a baby). :-)

Virbac Shampoo
September 14, 2014
Our male cocker has had skin problems for a few years. Last year they got real bad and took him to a doggie dermatologist who put him on Omega vitamins and baths once a week with this shampoo. His skin is the best it has been. The dermatologists started carrying something else. This worked and we are sticking with it. Delivery was in a couple of days. We are very pleased.

I have used Hexadene for years on my Golden Retrievers who have skin allergy problems. I like it for staph infections too. Not a harsh shampoo. It was recommended by a vet. who specializes in skin problems.

Review for Virbac Hexadene Shampoo (16 oz)

This shampoo is very good for your dog with allergies along with the Virbac cream rinse to leave on. If possible leave on for 5 minutes before rinsing with cooler water, not cold.

I have used this and similar products for years. I bathe my dog every other day. She has terrible inhalant allergies meaning everything she breathes in causes problems. This shampoo is one of several I use and it really does help. I will continue using this as long as they make it. Or as long as I can get it. Its half the price of the vet shop.

Works great for skin problems
October 12, 2013
I originally got this product from a vet dermatologist and it works great on my Schnauzer's skin problems. When her skin gets bad, I have to bathe her every day but it's much better than all the drugs she used to take to get her skin problems under control. I also use a diluted vinegar rinse on her that I leave on her after using this product. She used to be on some pretty strong antibiotics and she hasn't taken any drugs for over 6 months.

Virbac Hexadene Shampoo

My mom bought this shampoo for me and since she has started using it I am off of the antibiotics. She does have to bath me twice a week, and after the bath before drying me with a hair dryer she puts on ResiSoothe by Virbac. I am alot less itchy and the scabs have gone away.

If your dog plays outdoors, runs through the woods and is exposed to climate changes, this antiseptic shampoo will balance out bacterial and fungal levels for an excellent shiny coat. Consider your pet allergy to grains as well. I have switched my GSDs to grain free food.

Great product to relieve scratching
December 28, 2012
Our dog was scratching for 2 months before we found this product. Changing food didn't help. A special (and expensive) diet didn't help. Then a friend told us what a doggie dermatologist told her in a similar situation. Buy this product and mix it half and half with the Virbac EpiSmooth. Bathe the dog and leave it on for 10 minutes. Repeat 3 days later, a week later, a week after that and then as needed. It worked great! Our dog scratched less right away. He has continued to improve so he rarely scratches. The hair has grown back on his paws. We are all much happier.

The Product Really Works!

I have a 17 year-old Yellow Labrador Retriever who had sarcoptic mange. Her skin was itchy and very dry and the hair on her legs was gone from the mange. After one use of the Hexadene Shampoo, there was dramatic improvement. I have been using the product twice a week for the last month. The vet said "she looks amazing" and her hair has almost completely grown back.

My vet sold me this product to help with my sweet Carrie's allergies. She scratches so much less when this is used. Buying it from Entirely Pets is about half what my vet charged.

We have a white American Bulldog with skin problems. Our vet recommended this product and we were looking for cheaper prices than his office. We ordered online and we were really glad with the services. We received it quickly and did not have any problems. Will buy more soon!

My Pekingese has a skin problem. The dermatologist recommended this product and I must agree it works the best of all the others I have tried. I've been using it for about three years now. Give it a try!

a necessary shamphoo
November 7, 2012
my dog has a allergy to something in the ground. this shamphoo and the conditioner helps keep him off of alergy medicines. he needed it 2-3 times a week - now 1-2 times a week. my older dog hair gets dirty a day or two after a bath. since i started using the shamphoo on her; her skin stays cleaner longer.

I have a West Highland Terrier that has constant allergy problems. I have found this shampoo to be very helpful in keeping the scratching to a minimum. Entirely Pets offers a great price compared to purchasing the product at my Vet's office.
