Overview

Vetoquinol's Universal Medicated Shampoo is a sulfur-based, pH-balanced cleanser packaged in a 16 oz bottle for dogs, cats and horses. It combines chloroxylenol, salicylic acid and sodium thiosulfate to target dry, itchy or flaky skin during regular bathing. Unscented and dye-free, it's built for owners managing an ongoing coat or skin issue rather than a one-off wash.

The category label lists this under Dog Shampoos, but the product itself is labeled for use across dogs, cats and horses, so multi-pet households can use one bottle. Because it's positioned as safe alongside flea and tick medication, it's meant to sit in a grooming routine rather than replace veterinary treatment. The sulfur and salicylic acid combination points to a degreasing, deodorizing formula rather than a leave-in conditioner.

  • 16 oz bottle
  • Chloroxylenol, salicylic acid and sodium thiosulfate actives
  • Two-year manufacturer warranty from the date printed on the tube
  • PH-balanced for daily grooming

Who it's for

Owners bathing a dog, cat or horse with dry or flaky skin, or anyone who needs a shampoo that won't interfere with topical flea and tick products. Less suited to pet parents who just want a scented, everyday coat-shine wash.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Labeled for use on dogs, cats and horses
  • Dye free and unscented formula
  • Compatible with flea and tick medication use
Cons
  • No scent means it won't mask kennel or outdoor odor on its own
  • No customer review text is available in this listing to confirm real-world results

Performance notes

The formula pairs chloroxylenol with salicylic acid and sodium thiosulfate, ingredients typically used to loosen scale and reduce buildup on irritated skin. It's dye free and unscented, which limits the risk of added irritation for sensitive skin. The pH-balanced claim suggests it's formulated for animal skin rather than a repackaged human product.
