Overview
Chlorhexidine and ketoconazole in the lather work against bacteria, fungi and yeast on the skin, while ceramides and oat avenanthramides calm itching. It degreases an oily coat without stripping the skin and rinses out with a light fruity scent.
Two active ingredients in one bottle cover the bacterial and yeast side of many skin flare ups, and the barrier ingredients help limit dryness. It is a medicated product, so a vet should confirm it suits your animal first.
Who it's for
Animals with greasy, itchy or yeasty skin under a vet plan get a cleansing and soothing formula in one. Healthy pets needing a regular wash are better off with a mild everyday shampoo.
Pros and cons
- Antiseptic and antifungal together
- Soothes itch with oat extracts
- Supports the skin barrier
- Degreases without over-drying
- Vet consult advised before use
- Not a routine bath shampoo
- Contact time not stated
Performance notes
Results depend on the active ingredients staying on the skin long enough to act, so lathering thoroughly matters. Ceramides and avenanthramides replace moisture lost in degreasing, which helps the skin barrier hold up through repeat washes.
