Dermcare Malaseb Medicated Shampoo

Dangerous – Our beautiful cairn terrier developed tremors, lowered body temperature, fatigue and a rash after using this product. Our vet failed to identify the issue and our furry friend died a week later of kidney failure despite IV treatment. They never thought to rinse him off even just to make sure there was no residue. Some vets believe this product is risk free when it clearly is far from that. I curse the day I ever saw this product.

Bad reaction – My dog has been itchy , done food elimination tho can't find problem ,have washed him with oatmeal shampoo which relives symptoms a little though not to great effect so I tried Malaseb today, using instructions printed on bottle ,after washing and drying he seemed quite comfortable then his skin started to deepen in colour and became more and more… Read more

itchy and he was becoming so hot you could feel the temperature coming from him ,I made a mix 50,50 of Cider Vinegar and water and tried to apply tho was so itchy tore my arm with his claws as soon as I touched him trying to itch himself .I held his legs and applied the Vinegar and water which seemed to relive him emidiatly, he's still very touchy and about 50 percent back to normal ,I'm hoping I can keep him stable till I get to the Vets first thing ,I'm sure this is a very good product but as above can have side effects on some of our fur Baby's so I suggest doing a test wash on a small area of skin and observing for several hours. If I had known this I would have saved my self a whole lot of Heart ache ,sleepless night, worry and pending Vet bills.

An Amazing Treatment – On 29th June, I became the Owner of a small Kitten (about 4 weeks old), who was found on the side of the M1, Gold Coast. Unbeknown to me, the Kitten, who I named Bart had Ringworm. The only signs of Ringworm on Bart were a small dry area on each ear but the impact on others were extensive. I ended up with a huge amount of Ringworm on my face,… Read more

neck and chest area and our Dog, Homer who we adopted 4 years ago from the Animal Welfare League, also had many areas of Ringworm and then finally my Husband succumbed with a few sites of Ringworm. Although it is not recommended for Human Use, the best treatment I found was the Malaseb Shampoo, purchased to treat our Dog, which was rubbed (until it became frothy) onto the affected areas and left on for 10 minutes and then thoroughly rinsed off. The affects from using this Product were remarkable and more effective than any of the Suggested Medical Products and can be purchased from your Local Veterinary Clinics. A 250ml bottle will cost $25.81 but the results make it a truly worthwhile purchase.

Perfect for itchy, allergy prone dogs – My mother had a Maltese who was prone to allergies, when the dog passed she gave me about 5 bottles of this stuff for my dogs. I never used it until my Cavalier King Charles started having seasonal allergies, along with recurrent thrush infections on his paws and in his ears. The stuff is perfect. I started using it for his weekly baths and… Read more

noticed his "hot spots" were less inflamed and the thrush infections were few and far between.

I wasn't aware you are suppose to let the shampoo sit on the dogs coat for 10 minutes so once my vet told me to start doing that my dogs coat was amazing, the thrush isn't an issue anymore and his allergies are a lot more controllable.

I find that although the smell isn't great, once my dog is dried after a bath he is left smelling good, no damp dog smell and his coat is very soft.

In between baths if I find him itching I just run a little on the itchy spots, leave for 10-20 mins, wash it off and it does the trick.

This product has saved us a lot of stress and many vet visits for allergies and thrush infections. It works. Expensive for a small bottle.

Don't bother trying other products, this is the best – After trying expensive foods, creams and everything, this was the only thing that helped my dog's skin! It is definitely well worth the money. My dog was a lot for more comfortable and even became more obedient since it wasn't always scratching and irritated. Show details

Amazing product… wouldn’t use anything else on my staffy… – Works perfect for my Staffy, I will definitely be using it again and recommending it to my friends and family. Be sure to follow the instructions. Do not leave on for more than recommended time allocated on the bottle.

Not 10 minutes – My maltese x had licked the fur of the top of her foot. It looked red and angry. A daily 1 :10 malaseb soak for 2 minutes and it was back to normal in 2 months. Following the soaks the feet should be rinsed with a small amount of bath oil in warm water as malaseb can make the skin dry. Best done at the end of the day as often an allergy to the grass.  Show details

It’s awful. Don’t buy it – This shampoo is indicated for Malesezzia but it aggravates the dogs skin so much so that it worsens the condition!! And given the number of bad reviews this needs to be addressed.

Absolute sh*t product – - both dogs scratch for hours after being washed - even tho' I was careful to rinse thoroughly - so much so I almost flooded the bathroom. Happened twice. Had to give dogs antihistamine - worse than the original condition. Show details

Has made it worse – Recommend by vet as treatment for irritated and itchy skin Has made his skin worse,dried out his skin to the point of scales and scans and within 1/2 hour of a wash he stinks all over again So expensive and does nothing but worsen the condition. Show details

No relief from malaseb for my pup – Bought from the vet. Used exactly as directed. Tried it twice a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for 3 weeks. Made dog scratch even more frantically after each time . No relief at all.

Best product – I have used this product on my dog since he was puppy. It is great to for his itchy skin and prevents him from scratching. Highly recommend this product to dog owners. Show details

Love/Hate Malaseb – I've been recommended Malaseb by vets, but I found it drying. Then my vet said to use for one of my dog's allergy rash and dilute it 1:10 for cleaning ears. I reread the instructions and realised I was using far too much as shampoo. For the past few weeks I've used the amount on the bottle, and QV bath oil afterwards. It has helped both my dog's itching. Just don't pour heaps straight out of the bottle on to your pet, like I used to. Show details

Good for Ringworm prevention and treatment in dogs – I have used Malaseb shampoo to prevent ringworm in my dogs over the years, wether it was through direct exposure with an infected animal or suspected infected animal or visited a place where there was suspected ringworm in their pets. Works great and never had a ringworm infection in my dogs as I would wash them immediately after any suspected… Read more

exposure/during the visit.

My Cavalier had a mild yeast infection in her paw pads as a puppy and Malaseb twice a week for two weeks cleared that up.

If my dogs were to contract Ringworm I would definitely use Malaseb as it limits the amount of environmental contaminantion through limiting ringworm fungal spores being shed.

Be careful when washing around the face, if it gets in their eyes it causes irritation. This happened once and my dog was fine thankfully but now I use a sponge or my finger very carefully around the eye area.

Top product! – My pup gets periods of inflamed itchy skin which sometimes can be dry and flaky and at other times seem moist and warm. I got this shampoo and it was like instant relief for the both of us. There’s nothing worse than watching your loved pet suffer and scratch and become red all over. This shampoo smells nice and fresh, really calms her skin,… Read more

redness goes away and itchy is soothed. Completely worth every cent! And saved her from taking medication instead. A much easier, less costly and healthier alternative, and she smelled pretty and felt soothed after her first wash. Love it! Happy pup, happy me!

Awful shampoo – Left my cat with a respiratory infection & skin blisters all over him gone in the bin absolutely terrible stuff will stick to Johnson baby bath in the future expensive stuff too get refused refund Show details

Smells amazing – If you have been on the hunt for a great shampoo for your dog and haven’t found anything out then look no further as this product leaves your dog looking and smelling so fresh and clean and the benefits last ages . I have tried many shampoos for my dogs and this is the only product that leaves them smelling so good for so long ! When it comes to… Read more

price it is on the higher end of the spectrum but you pay for what you get in the end it’s cheaper than taking them to a grooming salon and yet you get the same great smelling result!

better than i could have expected – a little expensive, but i've saved a fortune on vets bills and medication, and have a happier dog. Wished i'd known about this years ago when i was advised the only remedy was cortisone Show details

Itching and smell have gone – Malaseb Medicated Shampoo was recommended to me 2 years ago after my little dog was diagnosed with a skin condition that made him itch and gave off a nasty odour. I wash him twice a week (once in winter) making sure to massage the malaseb in well and leave on for the recommended 10 minutes. I noticed an improvement almost immediately but have… Read more

continued to use malaseb to avoid the dermatitis an itching from returning. Happy dog and happy owner as he no longer rubs his back over the carpet.

I use this product in my grooming salon – I’m a groomer & I swear by malaseb. I encourage any of my clients who have fur babies with skin conditions to try it. I have never had any say it didn’t work. I strongly recommend you follow the instructions to the letter, such as letting your fur baby “soak” for a full ten minutes. If you don’t you will not get the full benefits. I hope others have the success I have seen with this product.

Best product – Vet suggested for dermatitis on our boxer was itching non stop and was totally uncomfortable one wash and was 90% couple more and was totally gone best product ever

Dermcare – I used this product on my dog and it really worked well massaging the product ont her skin and then wash thoroughly helped her skin from being red to normal highly recommended this product

We use it every week – Our vet recommended this shampoo as our Bulldogs tail pocket was a bit smelly and this really solves the issue if we stay on top of it. Would recommend

Perfect. Done the job – My poor girl was as so itchy and I tried a few different products to no use. A helpful lady from overstock suggested I try this and my dog instantly relived from irritation and itching that was driving us both insane. She is much happier and on top of leaving her nice and clean She is soft and fluffy!

Great Product – Fantastic product recommend by our vet for skin allergies. We found out during renovations our Scott terrier was allergic to plaster dust. shampooing once a week helped with the problem

Dangerous! – I used Malaseb on my dog because it is supposed to be safe for dogs with skin problems but some got into his eye & it very quickly caused a chemical burn on the eye. His vet has been treating it for nearly 3 weeks now & we had to see an ophthalmologist because it caused so much damage, there is still a chance my dog will lose his eye so I will… Read more

never use this again. There are many other products available that contain natural & safe ingredients that would be safer than this toxic shampoo.

Used on horse for bad case of greasy heel/mud fever – Had used Malaseb with success for dogs smelly itchy coat problem so gave it a try on horse's 6 month old severe case of greasy heel which developed into cellulitis at one point (cured with antibiotics but still had greasy heels) and it finally started to improve within a week. Vet had recommended I try washes in chlorhexidine, 5% bleach, Canesten… Read more

& saline none of which helped at all. Horse didn't mind Malaseb washes even though skin was red raw & bleeding in places but had objected to C/hex, bleach & Canesten which irritated already sore skin. Have used Malaseb since at first sign of greasy heal and stopped it in its tracks. Great product if you follow the instructions & rinse/dry off treated areas. Helps soften scabby skin which is typical with greasy heel & helps active ingredients penetrate the affected skin.

Poison – After using malaseb for years on my cavvies...my latest cav pup..1yr old..licked shampoo vomited for hours..now has a liver toxicity problem won't eat and came close to passing away.. It's a very severe reaction but really not worth the risk.. Poured malaseb down sink. Would not ever recommend to anyone. Dog groomer of 25 years.

Amazed at results – I have tried selsun blue,neem oil,coconut oil,acv,probiotics, oil of oregano, and everything else. I started using about 8 washes ago (twice a week)ted has gone from a miserable itchy, greasy, black skinned dog with major hair and weight loss to a dog with a beautiful full coat, skin so much better, itching 100%better,put on weight,happy,sleeping not itching, definitely works on yeast infection. Brilliant!!

This product is brilliant for dogs with difficult to treat, skin conditions – I have a small x bred terrier who is so low to the ground, she often gets rashes from her belly touching grasses etc. (especially rye grass) when this happens, I wash her in a diluted solution ( 1 part to ten parts water) of Malaseb medicated dog shampoo and whatever rash, infection or skin irritation she has, has calmed down within two to four… Read more

hours. It is not the greatest smelling product on the market, but it works each and every time I use it. It is also highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. I have had the same bottle (which is still half full) for over a year and a half now. I recommend this product highly for dogs that are prone to recurrent and or difficult to treat skin conditions.

Top stuff – Great medicated shampoo For dogs. Cream Male retriever 4 years old. We go camping a lot so it's nice to know, it has bug fighting ingredients in. He also had a staff infection and this really helped calm his skin.

melaseb – My dog was allergic to this product and made this skin flaking and itchiness worse. I rang a specialist skin vet who told me that they recommend this shampoo to be diluted 1 to 10 parts water. i tried this poured over him lathered it up and then rinsed it off within 2-3 minutes. It now has helped him. No one else recommended this shampoo to be diluted.

Malaseb Medicated Shampoo – Previously been to three Vets and a respected dog groomer concerning my dogs skin and ear yeast based infections. Trying everything from tea, vinegar, prescription medication, and other ear cleaning products. Wasn't until our dog had a very bad breakout of a skin infection that the last vet we saw recommended Malaseb. The change in my dogs skin… Read more

condition was very noticeable after a couple of days. Two weeks later and he's virtually all better with no signs of infection. Can't recommend the product enough and I wished one of the other vets recommended this earlier. Will continue to use this product as a maintenance strategy.
