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

You are supposed to dilute before using. The directions are minuscule as in font size 2. You need a magnifying glass to read. 2/3rds of the directions are warnings before you get to the usage in the bottom paragraph. I got some full-strength on my skin and it burned/tingled all night long. You are not supposed to rinse it off after applying. Apply every 14 days to dogs only and premises. In the case of mites (mange), the eggs hatch in 14 days. But you will have to continue to keep treating if you don't remove the source of the infestation. This is a very good product. At 17% Permethrin and 4.25% Piperonyl Butoxide + other ingredients. You need the second ingredient Piperonyl Butoxide increases effectiveness for Permethrin resistant mites. This is stronger than the 10% livestock pour-on.

The first time I ever took my dog, to a vet 13 years ago, she said, "Be very careful, he has sensitive skin." I didn't know what she meant, I wish I asked, because since then it's been an uphill battle with his poor skin. He is always itchy, allergic to fleas, gets yeast infections... anything that can go wrong does and he's ALWAYS itchy. We've tried sulfur shampoos, oatmeal, aloe, creams, changing his diet, but nothing provided more than temporary relief.This spring, he started losing fur along his spine and I thought "FLEAS!" Fleas will make my dog go -bald- in a matter of weeks so I freaked out and started looking everywhere for them. No fleas. Not one. Exacerbated, I started my search for the 13th year for something that would help my poor itchy dog. Originally thinking Happy Jack was a shampoo, I sort of rolled my eyes and put it in my cart with some https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WCV19B of these immuno vitamins. Bacterial and fungal infections, as well as mange, can all be helped with a stronger immune system.When I got to the bottle of Happy Jack, though, I was disappointed. It seemed expensive for so little shampoo. And then when I read the instructions, that this was to be rubbed into his skin and left to dry, I was extremely dubious. He's a pekingese with medium length fur... he'd be wet all day. Still, I followed the instructions, put on my kitchen gloves, and started smearing him in this very foul smelling oil. I expected him to freak out, since he hates the smelly sulfur rinses, but he immediately relaxed. He let me massage his whole body in oil, loved it! Was upset when I stopped! And then... he slept for hours and hours and hours. Peaceful and soothed. I repeated until the bottle was empty, about 5-6 days.The smell is overwhelming for me. My whole house seemed to smell of pine tar and it covered my tongue and throat. Who cares?! My dog felt amazing during treatments and itching was reduced 90%. It's now been 2 weeks since treatment...Dog is doing great. I see 75% reduction in itching, the bald spots are robustly growing new hair, the skin is white and clear. Even the black spots on his belly lightened by several shades. I plan to buy another bottle in a couple weeks for more spot-therapy. I want to treat his most targeted areas maybe once a week to keep him as comfortable as possible. I also want to treat his tummy to see if we can't get it a nice healthy color. It's been a long road but my dog is actually sleeping through the night... which NEVER happens. He'll sleep in! He doesn't have to be babysat because he rolls around all day. He doesn't itch himself until he cries. And that is worth ANYTHING. Thank you Happy Jack for being a cure all for ALL the itchiness that plagues my poor dog.

First, let me say that this stuff WORKS. My rescue puppy had mange and was miserable, balding, red, and itchy. The itch went away on the first application within moments. Her skin looked completely clear after 3 days. The meds gave by the vet had not worked after a whole month of treatment, she just kept getting worse.Now what’s bad about it?You just try chasing a puppy with a liquid to rub on them, especially a liquid you CANT TOUCH until it has dried. It might be easier if it were a cream or lotion.This stuff stinks. The pine tar smell fights it out with the sulfur smell and just ends up knocking you out. Apply it outside. Take a shower after application while the dog stays outside drying. Make sure the dog is entirely dry (it took maybe an hour but it was hot and dry) hope your dog doesn’t get on the furniture because the smell does stay in fabrics.

This stuff really works. You must try if your dog has sores dry patches it does way more then just cure mange it will stop them from biting on themselves and itching you will see a huge difference e really quickly

Our dog had an undiagnosed little patch on her back that started to scab and she eventually lost her hair in the area and the skin turned dark. Every where else on her body was fine. I bought anti-inch and antifungal/antibacterial shampoos and nothing ever worked. I bought this off Amazon and for the most part it did the trick. Her hair is slowly growing back and the skin surrounding it is healing and no longer dark colored.The reason for only the 3 star review instead of 5 is due to the smell. I thought the other reviewers were being wimps originally.... but damn this stuff is strong. I don't mind it so much but our dog (<10lb border terrier mix) seemed super miserable with it on. She wouldn't eat. She wouldn't play. She was visibly mopey. To the point the I got worried and would wash the medicine off from her skin after a couple hours. I can't imagine a dog needing their whole body treated.Besides that, it doesn't come with instructions so I took direction from other online user.All in all, it works. Just be prepared for the strong lemony turpentine smell and to stay consistent. with it.
