Overview
Pet MD's benzoyl peroxide shampoo comes in a 12 ounce scented bottle, formulated for dogs and cats dealing with itchy, oily or flaky skin.
Benzoyl peroxide is the active cleansing ingredient here, a formulation more commonly associated with medicated, degreasing shampoos than standard coat washes. Beyond the title, the listing does not provide ingredient percentages, coat type guidance or usage frequency, so specifics beyond what is stated on the bottle are not available from this data.
- 12 oz scented shampoo
- Benzoyl peroxide active formula
- For dogs and cats
- Deep cleansing and deodorizing
Who it's for
May suit dogs or cats dealing with oily coats, flaking or itchiness where an owner wants a deodorizing wash. Not a substitute for a vet visit if skin issues are severe, persistent or accompanied by open sores or infection.

Performance notes
Benzoyl peroxide works as a degreasing and cleansing agent in shampoo formulations generally, which lines up with the deep cleansing and deodorizing claims on this bottle. Beyond that mechanism, no further formulation detail, such as concentration or additional soothing ingredients, is listed in the available data.
