Zymox Enzymatic Rinse

Great leave on rinse for Yeasty or Allergic skin. Worked great for my dog. Helped stop his itching.

I originally wrote this review for the Zymox shampoo, but the rinse is just as amazing and so I'm going to put this here too! I don't have the words to tell you the difference Zymox shampoo, rinse, and the ear drops have made in the lives of my 6 rescue dogs! Every single one of them came out of horrific abuse situations. Their coats were shocking messes, in some cases, a lot of their fur was missing, and some even had sores on them from being left outside, neglected for years and years, and having been severely bug bitten. All of them were chewing themselves...filthy, pitiful, skeletal specimens...bless their hearts... on the day they each came to live here with us to get a fresh start. With two of my rescues, you couldn't even tell what color they were when I found them - and with one, you couldn't even tell what kind of dog she was, she was such a mess. That poor little skeleton with almost no hair turned out to be a gorgeous Corgi!! Imagine my surprise and delight! At 13, she now looks half her age, and ready for the show stages! lol While Princess Granny may not be headed for Westminster, the fluffy white parts on her coat now shine just like a show dog, and miracle of miracles, she no longer chews herself. No more hot spots. No more foot chewing. When she got here, she had such a bad problem with hot spot, I didn't know if I'd ever be able to find her any real relief. Even the spray from the vet only worked AFTER she got a new spot and she would cry from the pain- but Zymox shampoo and rinse changed ALL of that for her. The coat she's grown in since we got these products is fluffy, soft as silk, and she, like her adopted brothers and sisters who all get their baths with Zymox shampoo and rinse, all smell like heaven! This product is amazing!!!!! If I wrote Zymox's praises all day, you still wouldn't have a clear idea of just what it can do. The animals I help are not regular pets. They're all animals who have been, in some cases, for 10 years or more, subjected to horrors no dog should ever know. Part of their therapy and healing process is dealing with their health issues, including coats you'd probably think were hopeless at a glance...but with Zymox, they not only all grew stunning, beautiful coats, their allergies and itching all went away even after having suffered a lifetime of neglect!!! (Zymox products + a good grain free/potato free food = WOW!) While searching for answers to help the Corgi, I read about Zymox on an online forum. Now, I wish i could go back and find the person who tipped me off and give them a virtual hug and a kiss. The expensive groomer's shampoos and conditioners I'd used for years don't hold a candle to what Zymox can do for your dogs. You'll see results right away! Buying this along with the Shampoo and the Ear drops has been a total life changer for all of my rescue dogs, and I'll never use anything else!! To top it all off, it makes them smell so good that people who come into your home won't smell "dog" no matter how many you have. They'll say: "Oh, what smells so good?" and you can then point at your dogs and say "You're smelling their shampoo/conditioner!" lol So on top of healing just about any skin condition I've come across in my years as a rescue worker, It not only gives your dogs the relief they need and a gorgeous coat, it turns them into walking air fresheners to boot! lol I cannot recommend this product highly enough, but if I could, I'd give it 6 stars!!!

Wasn’t sure about this. It’s thick & to my mind definitely a conditioner not a leave in lotion. However I read the instructions & used it on my boy. An 8 year old Bichon with long term dry, itchy & consequently sore skin. Rubbed it well in, wrapped him in a baby grow. As you do! It’s truly helped. Have done the above twice now, only once a week for the past 2 weeks. The soreness has gone. He’s stopped the constant licking & biting. His skin still looks a bit pink. It’s also slightly drier than I’d like but is much more moisturised than it was. That awful yeasty smell had also faded a lot. I think another couple of sessions & we’ll be there. Will continue to use it when bathing him tho. Expensive? Yes. But worth it surely if it helps.

My corgi contracted ringworm at the dog park when he was around 10 months old. It went away after 6 weeks of twice weekly bathing with Malaseb, but unfortunately he was re-exposed to ringworm again. Over the next 6 months, we used Malaseb antifungal shampoo, had several different antifungal sprays from the vet, messy sulfur products, oral fluconazole, and militantly cleaned the house and his bedding with bleach and Xtreme Cleen. Frustratingly, monthly vet checkups showed that he still had ringworm on his tummy, back, and bottom. Since neither my dog nor anyone who was exposed to him had any ringworm lesions (weird), I was about to give up and just stop the insanity of rigorous washing and cleaning. Towards the end of summer, the monthly flea drops were not as effective and my dog was quite itchy from bites, seasonal allergies, and constant bathing. I was browsing Amazon, looking for some soothing shampoo and stumbled across this product. I've purchased Zymox brand products before and have been impressed with their quality, so when I saw the description that it "destroys" bacteria and fungi and the other good reviews, I bit the bullet. Instructions: "Zymox Conditioning Rinse may be applied directly to wet fur or diluted at a ratio of 3 oz Rinse to 1 gallon water. Completely cover animal with Zymox Conditioning Rinse. Leave on to dry or rinse lightly. For problem areas, Zymox Conditioning Rinse may be applied full strength as a lotion and left on to dry." How I used it: the first time I tried the product, I bathed my dog in Malaseb, towel dried him, blow dried him a bit more, then applied the Zymox directly to his trouble areas as a leave-in conditioner, trying to reach his skin past his thick fur. I did that twice over the next 2 weeks. After confirmation of no more ringworm, I apply this as a conditioner, massage it into his fur and skin, let it sit for a few minutes, then lightly rinse. Product: it's white and fairly thick, much like a deep conditioner. The scent is very strong, it smells like a room full of old ladies that doused themselves in perfume and baby powder. I was surprised that people liked the scent, I normally am not one to be bothered by smells, but I do find this one a bit strong and wish it was either unscented or had a different scent. It lingers for a while on his coat, but dissipates by the next morning. Surprisingly, applying it as a leave-in conditioner without rinsing it off did not make his fur sticky, oily, or greasy. It just seemed to soak in and leave his fur extremely soft, without any yucky residue. Efficacy: After using the product for almost a month, along with Malaseb, my dog is no longer itchy! The icing on the cake was that the vet found no sign of ringworm at his most recent appointment! I cannot say for sure if the Zymox rinse directly contributed to getting rid of the ringworm, but it definitely improved his skin and quality of life. I will continue to use this product each time I bathe him. Overall, I would recommend this product for dogs with skin issues.
