strong lingering scent [SEP] i bought this product because i have one cat that gets dandruff dry skin on his lower back i only used the product once and it did not irritate his skin or harm him in any way it seemed to work after one use but do not quote me on that every animal is different and it may not do the same for yourshowever the scent of this shampoo was so strong that it rubbed off onto my other cat i smelled it for weeks all over my house it was not unpleasant but it was strange and mildly annoying to my nose just to note i rinsed my cat extremely thoroughly he does not fight me in the bath so i can run the water and everything
