Overview

Vet Basics Lime Sulfur Dip is a concentrated antimicrobial and antiparasitic solution labeled for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and horses, meant to be diluted and applied to help manage ringworm, mange and general skin irritation.

This is a dip, not a shampoo: directions call for bathing first with a separate shampoo, then diluting the concentrate, applying it to affected areas by hand with gloves, and letting it air dry rather than rinsing it out. It's built for a repeated treatment schedule, not a one-time wash.

  • Diluted 4 oz per gallon of water
  • Labeled for dogs, cats and horses
  • Targets mange, ringworm, irritation
  • Air dry, no rinse required

Who it's for

Owners managing a diagnosed skin condition such as mange or ringworm across dogs, cats or horses. It is not meant as a routine coat wash, since the process calls for gloves, dilution and a multi-day repeat schedule.
