Malaseb does not have to be used in conjunction with no other prescribe treatments, the only thing you need to use Malaseb shampoo with is water & leave on the paws & skin 5-10mins to kill the yeast & bacteria thats on the dogs skin…
How are you going to kill yeast on a dogs paws & skin with a gentle puppy shampoo??
I dont think you’ve ever had a dog with yeasty skin & paws Anon101 like you have written you just like adding your 2 cents worth & that’s what its worth 2c…

In Australia you can buy Malaseb Shampoo at any pet shop, vets practice or online & we have had Malaseb shampoo as far back as I can remember, it’s not a new shampoo & it’s the BEST treatment to kill yeast on a smelly itchy dog…. a small bottle of Malaseb last a long time, you don’t need to add much shampoo, 1 teaspoon shampoo goes a long way, I have had a 250ml bottle for 2 yrs now & cost me $25 Au $, now that’s worth it especially when bathing a dog weekly for 2 yrs & making your dog comfortable, itch & yeast free… there’s probably a few cheaper anti fungal shampoos out there, look on Chewys site or at Pet Shops but you get what you pay for in the end so read the ingredients, Walmart did have a copy of the Malaseb $7 but it’s been discontinued apparently, maybe Walmart has another antifungal shampoo now..
You can mix 1/2 Vinegar & 1/2 water in a square bucket & stand your dog front paws in the bucket for a couple of mins then his back paws in the bucket, the vinegar kills the yeast BUT I have found it ends up drying out the skin inbetween the paws if used daily so best to only do the 1/2 water 1/2 vinegar soak twice a week, you can also use Betadine or Dettol antiseptic wash as well instead of the vinegar but the same it dries out skin inbetween their toes & pads, the Malaseb shampoo doesn’t dry any skin & it kills the yeast & smells better..
