Overview
Vetoquinol's BPO-3 shampoo is a medicated formula with 3 percent benzoyl peroxide, sold in a 16 ounce bottle and labeled for use on dogs, cats and horses.
Benzoyl peroxide at this concentration is used to degrease oily coats and flush hair follicles, which is why the product is aimed at skin that is red, flaky or itchy rather than routine coat cleaning. It is unscented, which matters for pets sensitive to fragranced shampoos.
- 16 oz bottle, 3 percent benzoyl peroxide
- Unscented, medicated formula
- Labeled for dogs, cats and horses
- Two year shelf life from date of manufacture
Who it's for
Fits owners treating a pet's oily coat, clogged follicles or irritated skin, often on a vet's recommendation given the medicated formula. Not intended for pets with normal, healthy skin who just need a routine wash, where a standard shampoo would be gentler.
Pros and cons
- 3 percent benzoyl peroxide for degreasing and follicle flushing
- Labeled for dogs, cats and horses
- Medicated strength is not meant for routine everyday washing

Performance notes
Benzoyl peroxide works by opening and flushing hair follicles while breaking down excess oil on the coat, which is the mechanism behind its use for oily or acne-prone skin in pets.
