Pets Get Allergies Too

Humans sneeze. Pets get itchy or infected. The most common reaction to allergens in humans primarily occurs in the respiratory tract.  Many pets with allergy symptoms have dermatology issues and scratch and gnaw at the skin.  Pets weakened by allergies become susceptible to ear infections, itchy skin (dermatitis), hot spots, yeast overgrowth and general bacterial/fungal infections.

SHAMPOO & LEAVE-ON CONDITIONER

Is it necessary that I use ZYMOX Shampoo before applying the ZYMOX Leave-On Conditioner, or can I use the shampoo that I already have?

ZYMOX Shampoo is the recommended shampoo to use with ZYMOX Leave-On Conditioner because its known gentle plant surfactants will not affect the enzyme formula in the rinse and its effectiveness. ZYMOX Shampoo does not contain harsh detergents, pesticides, colorings or residual petroleum products that might cause unnecessary skin irritation. These and other harsh surfactants used in many other pet shampoos could potentially destroy or disrupt the enzymes in the Leave-On Conditioner.
