Classic's Lime Sulfur Dip - Pet Care for Itchy and Dry Skin - Xtra Strength Formula - Safe Solution for Dog, Cat, Puppy, Kitten, Horse (16 fl oz)

This is great. I had a stray kitten show up and I cannot turn away stray kittens. I have 5 of them but not by choice. I live out in the country and people keep dumping their unwanted cats. Ugh! Anyway, this kitten has ringworm and gave it to me and all of my other cats. This stuff wiped it out. You have to make sure you dilute it properly though. Follow the instructions. The first time Iixed it in a big plastic tub and the whole experience was awful. My vet suggested getting a weed sprayer. She said that's what they use in the shelter. Made things much less stressful for my cats. I was worried because everything I read online said how caustic it is and now to get it in their eyes or ears. My vet said I needed to stay off the Internet because it's really not that bad. However, don't get it in their eyes...

I happy with this product. We moved to new area and I don't know if its the high fox/rabbit population in new area, but our dog got infected somehow and spread it to us next. I had tried multiple shampoo products at the beginning of her mange, sarcoptic mites and none worked. We had been to one vet that initially misdiagnosed her, and gave her prednisone and antibiotic at first which made everything worse. She was losing all her fur in just a few weeks. I was very worried because I know mites can kill a dog if it gets too bad especially at her advanced age. New vet gave our dog revolution and cytopoint injection. Then told us to dip her in lime sulfur dip once a week for 4 weeks. I don't know if its the revolution or this alone but I think both is helping the infestation. Since this stuff is toxic if ingested, we put muzzle on her and cone as well then crated her in the garage after dip. It smells like rotten eggs. I do not recommend doing this in house or wearing any jewelry or clothing that you want to risk getting stained. I wore full disposable painter suit and gloves for process. We have only dipped her once so far but within 48 hrs, I have already seen improvement in her ears and the crust from the mites that had formed there. Now I am starting to see clearer skin. We used bucket and sponge to coat her DRY fur and cotton balls to apply the dip to her ears, careful to not get near her face or eyes. Did not rinse off product per instructions. Poor thing is now a crated dog in our garage at night for next few weeks but its needed until every mite has died. Now disinfecting our house and us is been our next focus since we have discovered the proper diagnosis. With this type of mite its best to treat everyone in house at same time with product made specific for human or dog and type of mite. I even sprayed our yard with permethrin, got permethrin cream from doc for us humans and rewashed everything in hottest water possible( including my cleaning tools), even our clean clothes in closets, plus steam cleaned our furniture/mattresses/rugs and treated mattresses/couch with permethrin lice spray from Walgreen's. Its a very labor intensive process but I'm seeing improvement for our family all around. All of us already itch less in just few days. And I'm happy our beautiful sweet dog is starting to look better again in such a short time.

I had a friends come to me and tell me my old neighbors dog was looking really bad. Being a dog walker, I recognized that this was demodectic mange and knew that lime sulphur could treat it but never tried it. This dog was in so much pain constantly that she refused to eat and could not sleep. After I started the treatment, she slept for four days and only woke up to go to the bathroom and eat. Do not do what I did tho, do not use this indoors. Your house will smell like eggs for several days. This stuff takes a bit of time but if you are dealing with a case as bad as this foster puppy was, they need time to heal anyways. The hair does initially continue to fall out, that’s why I decided to just shave her. But the hair come back very quickly. The lime sulphur helps close up all the open wounds over night. I’m so glad I tried this. I would definitely recommend.

Less a complaint about the product, but more a review on expectations. I am still in the process of utilizing this product, so I cannot speak to the efficacy. In terms of delivery, everything was fine. The product does appear to work (note: the product Is labeled as a treatment for microbial, ie. Invisible pests, but after application visible pests do become more active) Ultimately, it appears to work. But to anyone willing to try this to calm a pet down BEWARE: product stinks to the high heavens. Application will most likely need to occur outdoors, and requires measures to prevent the subject from licking/eating it. It must be left alone to reach it's full potential. TLDR; not a quick fix, pretty inconvenient, but so far works as designed. ((Honorary 5 star review))

This product worked exceptionally well. I rescued a small kitten who had ringworm and was too small to be prescribed oral anti fungal medication. Just be aware it doesn’t have the best aroma and be cautious that it may leave spots on surfaces.

I ran it through chatgpt and brought the mixing ratio down to 1 tablespoon of the liquid to 2 cups of water. I applied to the hotspots with a paper towel, it stinks, but I think it works, will update later

It did work, stopped some shedding. I need to use it again for another round but the smell is awful and stays for a while. It will stain anything.

Helped so much when we were treating a feral kitty with mange. Ypu do need to read the safety instructions as this stuff is strong but it worked as promised.
