Overview
Pet Honesty's Chlorhexidine shampoo is a 16oz medicated wash for cats and dogs, formulated with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 1% ketoconazole for seasonal itching, hot spots, and skin irritation rather than routine coat cleaning.
Chlorhexidine gluconate and ketoconazole are antimicrobial and antifungal actives commonly used in medicated pet shampoos for skin issues tied to bacteria or yeast, which sets this apart from a plain cleansing or deodorizing shampoo. The listing sits under a Dog Shampoos category, but the target species field lists both cats and dogs. The ingredient list also includes aloe vera gel and a cucumber melon fragrance, plus FD&C Red 40 dye.
- 16oz medicated shampoo
- 2% chlorhexidine gluconate, 1% ketoconazole

- Aloe vera gel included
Who it's for
Cat and dog owners dealing with hot spots, seasonal itching, or skin irritation who want a medicated wash rather than a standard cleaning shampoo. Not the pick for owners who want a fragrance-free or dye-free formula, since it contains added fragrance and FD&C Red 40.
Pros and cons
- Contains 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 1% ketoconazole
- Labeled for both cats and dogs
- Includes aloe vera gel
- Contains added fragrance and FD&C Red 40 dye
- Listed under Dog Shampoos despite covering cats too
Performance notes
Chlorhexidine gluconate at 2% and ketoconazole at 1% are the working actives, targeting bacterial and yeast-related skin issues respectively, which is the typical basis for relief from hot spots and certain itch causes. Aloe vera gel is included to help soothe skin during the wash, and the formula is scented with cucumber melon fragrance rather than being unscented.
