I purchsed this product based on their extravangant claims to eliminate mange in cats and dogs. I had previously purchased another product, which was very effective, but had an unpleasant odor, so I thought I'd give Defendex a try.
The price was $27 for a 4oz bottle of shampoo, plus shipping.
I used the shampoo on my cat exactly as directed for 3 weeks.in this time, she got steadilty worse and lost a great deal of hair.in addition, I became infected and my house became infested.
Double checking the label, the fine print says "for treatment of self-limiting conditions", meaning conditions which go away by themselves. MANGE IS NOT SELF LIMITING.in addition, comparing the ingredients to a cheap bottle of Suave shampoo (about $2.00 for a huge bottle), I see that the ingredients are almost identical, with the addition of trace elements of flower extracts.
Their website has flowery reviews by supposed past users, but in minute print below says " the reviews shown do not guarantee that you will experience the same or similar results". I honestly doubt those reviews were written by anyone other than the company promoting the product.
The outcome is that using this shampoo has delayed the cure, since I had to order the original medication I had used previously and caused my cat and me a great deal of discomfort beween the multiple shampoos (a total of 5 times), washing all items which may be infested repeatedly, and this doesn't take into account the disgusting feeling of being infected with mange mites.
I know, from past experience that when caught early and eliminated, the mange mites do not have a chance to cause such a heavy infestation.
I can't understand how a company can tell such blatant lies, or that it is even legal to do so.
This company and it's products are heavily promoted on the web, which appears to give them legitacy.
Do not trust their claims - do not purchase this product
