Shed-X Dermaplex for Dogs...WORKS!
Date: January 26, 2006
"I wasn't sure that this product would work or not. So, I tried it and found out that both my beagles LOVE the addition to their morning meal. I also found out that their coats became even softer! This product doesn't eliminate all hair loss, but it sure does minimize the amount of hair that both dogs loose! Before I would vacume/dust once a week and now (sometimes) I can get away without vacuming/dusting every two and a half weeks!"

This stuff ROCKS
Date: November 4, 2005
"This is the most amazing product. I am not usually an over-the-top consumer but this product is worth it's weight in gold. If you are tired of excessive hair on your furniture, clothing, and floors - buy this product.
The benefits are two-fold - the vacuum cleaner won't clog up each time you get it out and your animal will have the most beautiful, shiny coat.
Supplementing his meal is a part of our every-day routine from this point on!

"Shed-X is the best product I've found to improve quality of fur, sheen, and drastically reduces shedding. Plus our dogs LOVE it! (not true with other products we've tried)"

A Must Have for Lab Lovers
Date: October 12, 2009
"If you have a lab, you know the shedding. Shed X has greatly reduced his nonseasonal shedding. I don't have to vacuum everyday when I use this product. I am so convinced that this has made a big improvement that there is always at least one extra bottle on hand."

It works very well
Date: September 19, 2009
"I purchased this item after being referred by a friend that
has a pug as well. It has cut shedding easily in half... though there is some seasonal shedding. when you pet are dogs it looked like pig pen from charlie brown now you can put them and maybe see a hair fall. It took about 1 week to see product really work... but skin and hair looked and felt much better... lastly the pugs love the flavor of the Shed-X which is a bonus!

Say Good-by to Itchy Skin
Date: June 2, 2009
"My Belgium Malinois developed severe itchy dry skin after her puppy stage. Found Shedx on Petco and will never stop! Ginger love's the taste. Her coat is back to the shiny healthy glow, and the balding patches have filled in. Best of all, I don't have to watch as she scratches in misery! Please give it a try! It took her around 3 weeks of twice a day usage to see full results. =) GREAT PRODUCT!!!"

"I was excited to use this product. I have two Golden Retreivers and saw little to no difference in shedding reduction. I also referred this product to my brother and sister at the same time I started using it because of the rave reviews. She has a Cane Corso, it has short hair similar to a Boxer or Pit Bull. She saw no difference either. Now we do live in MN and it is winter so I don't know if that has something to do with it. We did try the product for 3 months. The only reason I gave it 2 paws is because it has got to be healthy for them per the ingredients otherwise I would have given it 0 paws"

It does work!!!!
Date: March 3, 2009
"My 2 labs had sever dry skin thanks to dry forced hot air heat. After 2 weeks I noticed they were scratching less. It took 4 weeks to notice a difference in the shedding. At 5 + weeks it was amazing little to NO fur on the floors. I was vaccuuming up to 5 times a day the fur was so bad. LOVE Shed X and would reccommend it to all. Especially those with labs who shed year round."

Really works!
Date: February 4, 2009
"This stuff is amazing! I was skeptical when I first started using it but soon after I started my dog's coats were more shiny and I saw much less dandruff. I have now been using it for years and wouldn't switch to anything else! My dogs also absolutely love the taste of it. They eat their breakfast much faster when I pour the Shed-X on it! Great stuff!"

Great stuff!
Date: January 21, 2009
"Not only is it helping the sheading problems, the dogs love the taste, they think its a treat when I put it in their food.
It's a must if you have sheading dogs.
right now I have 13 dogs in the house (10 are puppys) and since I have started using shead x,there has been less hair to clean up. Thanks

Works miracles!
Date: January 3, 2009
"My boxer had a thyroid problem and lost her hair in several places down to her black skin. Thyroid medicine solved the physical problem, but not the cosmetic one. She was still losing hair at an increbilbe rate. After 2 weeks on Shed-X, her hair grew back and she's quit shedding. Her hair is soft and shiny again. I've been using it for about months now and would recommend it to everyone! It's great!"

After about 2 weeks I couldn't beleive the difference! I will never be without this stuff again. Buy it in bulk!!!"

"I have a pug that sheds terrible. You cant go anywhere without de-hairing yourself! Ive tried many combs, etc and nothing works like this. A PETCO employee recommended this and after 2 weeks it is unbelievable. His shedding is almost non existent compared to before. Thank you for this great product!"

Great product!
Date: March 16, 2008
"We have two bassets that shed like crazy! Constant daily cleaning of floors & furniture were such a hassle. Since using Shed-X, their shedding has dramatically reduced. The bonus is their fur is so soft and shiny.
This product took a little longer to work than stated, but when it finally did, it was well worth it!

"At first I didn't really think this product would work, but I was sooo wrong. It showed amazing results. I have a rat terrier that doesn't shed as much anymore. No more or his hair everywhere in the house. =)"

Miracle Product
Date: February 3, 2008
"We have 2 MASSIVE SHEDDERS, 1 Lab/Retriever Mix and 1 Husky/Shepard Mix. We hardly have any carpeting in the house so hairballs were always apparent. We were, no word of a lie, sweeping every 2 days because everywhere you looked, there were hairballs! We were lucky enough to learn our Lab mix LOVES the suction hose on the vacuum, but dragging the vacuum out is time consuming and noisy. The Husky mix....terrified of the vacuum. The Husky/Shep mix would loose clumps of hair, even right after a good brushing. Bathtime....a messy, hairy nightmare! This product was recommended to me by a Petco Clerk about 3 weeks ago and I was absolutely skeptical. Bought a bottle....took it home...within 2 weeks I noticed an AMAZING difference. I just placed an online order for FOUR more bottles!!! Buy it! You won't regret it nor believe the results!"

Life Saver!
Date: February 2, 2008
"I have two dogs, a Border Collie and an Austrailian Cattledog, that live in my house. Their hair was everywhere and all I did was chase hairballs. After feeding Shed-X for two weeks I noticed a huge reduction in the amount of hair. Now, after six months, I can finally spend more time chasing balls with the dogs, rather than their hair!! Thanks Shed-X!"
