HAPPY JACK Mange Medicine & Treatment for Dogs & Horses - Brings Soothing Itch Relief to Severe Mange, Fungi, Allergies, Eczema & Most Dog Skin Irritation (8 oz)

I have used this product for 2 weeks on my dog (bathing 1x/week). It seems to really be doing the job! My poor dog battled mange before I got him, and our vet seemed very dismissive of his current SEVERE itching being attributed to that (although my cousin who is a vet tech believes 100% that is the cause). The vet put him on Apoquel, which didn't do the job, and I learned it can actually make mange worse! This (shampoo) was a solution I could try without a prescription, that was also not expensive, so since I tried everything else, I thought it was worth a shot. So glad it seems to be working (although it takes 30-60 days to rid a dog of all Sarcoptic Mange). On the downside - be prepared, as it contains sulfur and Turpentine - so you will want/need to cover all your furniture for the duration of the treatment (it's a bit oily and yellow and can stain if you aren't careful), and it's not a pleasant odor - but it seems to be what it takes to kill off the mites that burrow into the skin. So far, I'm happy with the results - will be curious to see where we are with it in another 4-6 weeks! For full transparency, I also increased his intake of foods and supplements to strengthen the skins ability to bounce back, along with this treatment - but again, I think this has helped tremendously, so far.

I got this to help my dog that’s had some spot that he’s been constantly itching. I’ve tried everything other creams, sprays, bath soaps and vitamins. This has been the only ointment that has helped. I put it on my dog every other day before bed and within a few days he’s been itching less and finally stopped. The product is easy to use just use gloves. It has a strong smell but it’s not bad, reminds me of essential oils. Overall I’m very happy I came across this product and will definitely be buying it in the future. Pros Great quality Easy to put on No safety concerns with the dog licking it Helped my dogs skin issue tremendously Cons Smell can be strong but a essential oil smell not bad

After agreeing with a family member to care for their two Yorkies for a month while they’re on vacay, I found out the doggos have sarcoptic mange. One dog’s skin was inflamed red and balding and the other had enlarged lymph nodes and an open sore on their back. Both exhibited black darkened patches of skin. After 1 week of using this topical ointment (used every other day applied with thick latex kitchen gloves), the itching has gone down, their hair is growing back and the sore is slowly healing over. The routine that’s working is: shampoo with veterinary formula antiparisitic & antiborrheic shampoo for 15 mins and washed off, mixture of 3 tbsp borax diluted with 2C benzoyl peroxide and hot water in a spray bottle to evenly coat fur (careful to not spray head/face) and left on to air dry for 30 mins, dry rest of the way with blow dryer, and ointment put and left on until next bath. This ointment is staining and has a sulfuric smell; I suggest it applied to your gloved hands and then to their fur in addition to crating the dogs during the duration of the treatment with pee pads. Ensure the area in which they’re kept is well ventilated, I had an air purifier on max during application and at a low setting all other times. Good value for the money and does what it says.

Had first treatment today! Praying it works! Next stop is the Rainbow Bridge. 😢 The most difficult part of using this is getting the dog to cooperate so you can get it rubbed in to their skin. I was dreading the smell from all of the reviews I’ve read. However, it just smells like I’ve doused my dog in petroleum. Of course that isn’t pleasant but it’s not a stinky sulfur smell like I thought it was going to be.

Great for my bully. If you have a bully then you know they have horrible skin allergies. My bully scratched his skin raw. The pills the vet prescribed didn't work and he was so miserable. Friend told me to get this stuff and it worked wonders. Skin is back to normal.

This may have worked, but it ruined my life quite literally. My dogs had itchy flaky skin. Didn't know what it was, vet didn't know either. I bought this to try and their skin seems better for now, after my one an only use. Now I slathered their whole body in it and I used the whole bottle. I did 2 of my 3 dogs as the puppy didn't seem affected with the dry, flaky skin. The smell was strong. It's winter so I did it in my shower downstairs. It made me lightheaded, it didn't stink though just like a chemical pine smell. You don't rinse so I assumed it would be absorbed. I stuck the dogs in the laundry room for 24 hours but had to let them out so briefly they jumped on furniture and ect cause they had been locked up for so long and when I let them out they were excited. but the stuff never got fully absorbed and they were still wet 24 hours later. I left it on for another 12 and then bathed them. It took like 6 washed to get it off. However, my house weeks later still stinks. It took like 12 washed to get the sent out of my blankets. The smell is probably still in my carpet or on my couch. I carpet cleaned 3 times and steamed cleaned my couch several times. The smell has morphed into different smells over the week. From pee to rotten to whatever it is now, I couldn't even describe it. Thankfully it's starting to fade. But it's been weeks. I've bathed my dogs with special medicated shampoos trying to get smell out so not sure what cured them, but at least they are better. If you use this make sure it's summer so you can do it outside and preferably have like a cage to keep them and separate from your main living area. I bought 2 bottles and returned the second cause it quite literally has ruined my life the last several weeks. I've used baking soda and vinegar and all sorts of stuff to clean with and it's still there. Even the clothes I washed in my washer after started smelling like this stuff. It's been a nightmare. Do not recommend. My husband said never use this stuff again. And he has a very poor sense of smell.

It's great for mild infections but nothing past that it stinks so badly anything over small applications makes the dog and household as well as blankets and furniture stink as well as sick to the stomach....never completely washes out of the clothes blankets or furniture that nasty smell stays

After 1 application our dog was feeling and looking so much better

I know this is a good product but I had to reorder the product do to damaged in shipment. Please ship this in a box. The thin bag offered no protection from impact.

Does the job. Use sparingly, a little goes a long way.
