Products such as Virbac Allergroom Shampoo provide a convenient way to minimize the discomfort a dog and its owner experience.

Effects

This combination of ingredients in the Allergroom Shampoo work together to calm irritated skin and promote a healthy, shiny coat. Soap can be irritating and leave a residue on the skin and coat of a dog. Because Allergroom does not contain soap this potential irritant is removed. The protective layer on the skin and coat also prevent further irritants and allergens from nesting on the dog. The delayed release of some ingredients lengthens the effectiveness of the shampoo.
How to Use

Allergroom is often recommended by a veterinarian and specific instructions will be provided. For general use, the product should be shaken well before application and applied to a wet coat. After massaging the product thoroughly into the coat, allow it to set for 5 to10 minutes. Rinse well with clean water. Unless specified differently, Allergroom should be used weekly.
