Dermcare Aloveen Oatmeal Shampoo

I don't recommend this product. Caused a bad rash and itching on my moodle – After buying those from the vet for my 8 mth old puppy he had broken out with a very bad rash. I eliminated his diet, then after washing him he broke out again, with a worse rash. I believe he is allergic to this product. I don't recommend Show details

Do Your Homework – When my Silky developed an itch under his front and back legs and started to scratch, I wanted to find a shampoo and conditioner that would help soothe, calm and moisturize his skin. This product came highly recommended after talking to staff at our local pet store, and so feeling confident this would help my furbaby, I paid $40.99 and walked out… Read more

with the Aloveen Starter Pack. Back home, following the directions, I'd just read, i gave him a bath, and dried him off, about an hour later, he started scratching, and now his skin wasn't just itchy, it was becoming red and blistered. Down to the vet, given meds and change to organically grown and made products and no oatmeal.

Preceded itching weeping blisters and rashes – Washed two year old dog with no history of skin issues. Virtually immediately he started scratching and chewing his feet. Within hours weeping blisters and rashes appeared. Gradually worsened of next two days. Washed him again with Malaseb medicated shampoo and things got worse. Went to vet and dog is now, for the first time in his life, on a course of steroids and antibiotics.

Have used it for years and always been happy with it – Nice gentle shampoo. Dogs smell good after their bath, coats nice and shiny. Some other shampoos that I have tried make one of my dogs scratch after bathing, not this one.

Company refuses to share ingredient list – I was prescribed this shampoo as a great option for a dog with allergies. Our dog is allergic to rosemary (this is a common ingredient in food and shampoo). We requested an ingredient list to rule out rosemary and they refused to share it, our dog gets a serious allergic reaction after using this shampoo. Buyer beware. Show details

Dogs skin broke out in lumps – I bought this on recommendation from the Pet shop. I washed my dog once with this product and he broke out with lumps and sores all over his skin. He has sensitive skin but this made it much much worse. Whatever is contained in it, it's simply not aloevera and oatmeal, there's something hidden. Never again Show details

Good for sensitive skin – Was recommended this by my vet for one of my dog who has sensitive skin and was prone to shedding. The shampoo was effective in calming down and moisturising the dog's dry coat. However no noticeable improvement on the shedding and also on the pricier side. If you have spare budget, this is a great product. But if you are on a bit tight on money, it's not 100% worth it when there are other good products of lower price wit similar results.

Increased my dogs yeast infection – I have had my pup 8 months, have taken him to the vet 6 times and washed him with Aloveen Oatmeal shampoo since I got him, as he has had skin allergies since birth. With every vet treatment and wash he has been getting increasingly worse, so I have done some of my own investigating. Pet skin allergies can often lead to yeast infections, cortisone… Read more

and antibiotics prescribed by vets worsens this condition, and so does this shampoo as it literally feeds the yeast. Really disappointing that none of he vets could tell it was yeast and recommend this product when it is actually making it worse. I haven't found an alternative solution but I will never use this again, it is supposed to be good for allergies but it causes worse infections!

dry and itchy to smooth and silky – My dog was left with dry scaly itchy skin from fidos everyday shampoo. I used aloveen shampoo and conditoner, after just one wash his skin is more than improved. It is expensive and dosn't lather up easily but its worked miracles for my dog. The only downside is the artificial fragrance it contains  Show reply

Caused weeping blisters on my dog – Terrible dog shampoo. Has given my dog terribly itchy skin. When we first used this shampoo i noticed the same result (which resulted in weeping skin) so for posterity we used a different shampoo and changed his diet, obviously not being sure what the problem was. After 3 months we tried the shampoo again in a smaller amount but the dog is furiously itchy again and i am really ticked off. Never again.

Product is poor quality and no customer support – I purchased 1l shampoo/500ml conditioner pack of Alloveen for my Tibetan Terrier with sensitive skin. The results have been reasonably satisfactory until about two months along when the conditioner started to go black and lumpy in the bottle. Contacted the maker, assuming they would want to correct the situation, but two months later I've heard nothing. The apparent economy of buying the larger size has proven to be a huge mistake.

Awful product which caused massive damage! – After being told by pet stores that this stuff was the bees knees we tried it on our girl who is a black lab, she has sensitive skin and we were told this with the leave in consitioner would be a great general shampoo with Malaseb when she gets hot spots or atopia. WELL.. not happy at all... at first it was ok and her hair smelled and felt nice… Read more

but I started finding tumble weeds of hair all through the house that had not happened before and gradually it just got worse and worse. We went back to the pet shop who said it was probably environmental allergies and to wash her more often to not allow allergen build up and to use antihysthamines.

As a dog groomer I knew that washing weekly is always a good idea for dogs with bad allergies so went ahead, but it seemed I could help and sort out everyone elses pooch but my own poor girl..

Slowly she went bald on her chest, bald around her eyes and just looked awful..

At that point I figured we needed a vet. We already eliminated grain and red meat from her food, as well as no commercial dog food. Just chicken breast and veg. So we knew this was not a food thing.

Our vet did aome tests and sure enough, it was not her food or environment (I wash her bed and blankets and toys 2-3 times a week in a sensitive antifungal antibacterial laundry liquid) .. What she did react to though was the artificial fragrance in the Aloveen.. This shampoo caused all of her issues!! Since her hair fell out about 18 months ago it has not grown back the same and the vet said it would be a slow process. We were also told to stay clear of Pyohex, Natural Shampoo and malaseb by the same brand. So we also ended up with a prednisone shot and month worth of anti bios to clear up the damage from the Aloveen.

We switched over to the PAW Nutriderm shampoo and conditioner as a general shampoo, and in spring and summer when ahe gets hot spots the PAW Mediderm shampoo with Nutriderm conditioner.. It is not that much more expensive and it is worth its weight in GOLD!

I cant recommend it enough and I stopped using Aloveen and recommending it. So if you find your dog is still a bit stinky after a bath with the aloveen etc, try the Nutriderm.. it makes their hair like silk and can be used every 3 days. The conditioner can be put in a spray bottle with water and used as a leave in conditioner which helps immediately with any dandruff.

Aloeveen is the devil in disguise! I also have sensitive skin and this junk used to break me out in blisters within 10 mins of contact. The PAW products actually help my dermatitis so I have no issues massaging her conditioner in every day!

Not a big fan – I've been a groomer for a year now and used Aloveen as one of the first shampoos for my business as the more natual dermcare for clients dogs with sensitive dryer skin as We can not use medicated shampoos unless the client gives it to us to use. Unfortunately I did not get great feedback with the Aloveen and have had poor results with my own… Read more

pugalier dog who had dry skin.

The Aloveen smells good but dose not last very long unless you get the big bottles it also does not foam well so you go through it faster then some other brands.

Overall not the best band and would recommend another.

Amazing product – My dog has fairly dry skin and i have been using this 1 a week or every 2 weeks and her coat is super smooth and shiny as a result, i love this stuff so much now i just need the conditioner to go with it!

Worth the price! – I have been a dog owner for 18 yrs and have been using this exclusively for the last 8 yrs. One of my dogs had an itchy skin problem and the vet recommended this and i have been using it ever since. Yes it is more expensive than other brands and at first i was not that happy about the expensive price however it is well worth the price. I agree… Read more

with the other reviews that little goes long way so even though it is more pricier. I think it is cost effective as you only need to use very little product. 200ml/100ml pack has actually lasted me about a yr. Having said that i do not wash my dog every week. I wash my do every 2nd week. If you wash your dog every week. it might last you 6 months? Hair always super silky afterwards. Little goes a long way. Leaves hair silky

Excellent – I purchased my 250ml/100ml shampoo/conditoner combo over a year ago and still have plenty left. I can apply the conditoner to my dogs coat whenever he gets a bit smelly or itchy without having to wash him. The conditoner is particulalry good in winter too when it is too cold for a bath. Briliant product. Great for general use as well as pets… Read more

with sensitive skin. Lasts for ages! Dont have to wash the dog as often as you can use the conditoner between washes A bit more expesnsive but a little bit goes a long way. Can buy in shampoo/conditoner combos and in bulk pump packs

Good – This is a great shampoo to use on dogs with very sensitive skin. The conditioner is very handy because it can be appled between washes. It is gentle enough to be used frequently. My dog needs a wash every week in either medicated or oatmeal shampoo; I have finally found a product that will not irritate their skin. For the weeks that I don't use… Read more

this shampoo I apply the conditioner to soothe the skin. On the downside it can be seen as expensive but a little goes a long way because it soaps up nicely and is very easy to rinse out. great for dogs with very sensitive skin more expensive than other brands

Excellent – Aloveen is an excellent shampoo for any dog but particularly if your dog scratches or has sensitive skin that becomes itchy from other shampoos. It is thick and creamy with a beautiful coconut scent that keeps your dog smelling wonderful for days. One of my dogs has sensitive skin and starts scratching after her bath when I use other dog shampoos… Read more

but the aloveen does not make her itch at all and is a gentle skin calming shampoo that can be used regularly. It is a bit expensive but well worth it and a bottle does last for a number of washes. Once you have used this shampoo you will find it very hard to use anything else on your pooch. The smell is heavenly. Excellent for dogs with sensitive or itching skin more expensive than many other shampoos
