How does this compare to a medicated or prescription shampoo?
Lillidale Itchy Dog Wash is supportive carefor minor irritations, not a medicine. Medicated shampoos treat active infections and should be used as your vet directs.Lillidale’sgentle, pH-balanced formula is made for frequent, everyday care between medicated washesor after vet treatment-it cleans without harshness, helps soothe irritated skin, and supports the skin barrier.
How often can I use Itchy Dog Wash?
It’s gentle enough for weekly use (and more often initially) to remove allergens and soothe skin, without over-drying.
What exactly calms the itching?
It’s a combination: colloidal oatmeal (avenanthramides, β-glucans), mānuka honey extract (humectant), aloe vera and pro-vitamin B5 (soothe/hydrate), glycerin (locks in moisture), plus mild cleansers so you can bathe away everyday triggers. Free from SLS, parabens, alcohol, phosphates, petrochemicals, PEGs

Many owners notice a calmer dog after a couple of washes. Stick with the routine for best results.

When Should I Call The Vet?
- Serious and ongoing scratching
- Ongoing scratching even after using Itchy Dog Wash
- If scratching creates a sore If you see oozing, open sores or bleeding
- Allergies – effective vet treatments are available for allergic skin reactions
- There’s a strong odour that returns quickly
- No improvement after a few weeks of gentle care.
Ongoing Scratching : Sometimes a dog keeps scratching even after the original allergy or flea problem has been treated. That’s often because the skin remains irritated or the dog has developed a habit-itch response - reacting strongly to even mild triggers or a single flea bite. If hot spots, sores or persistent scratching return, it’s time to check back with your vet.
Flea Bite Reactions : Flea bites in particular can trigger allergic reactions that lead to painful hot spots needing vet care. Using a soothing, pH-balanced shampoo like Lillidale Itchy Dog Wash between flare-ups can help reduce those reactions and keep the skin calmer, but it’s not a replacement for medical treatment when infection or severe inflammation is present.
