Performance notes
Chlorhexidine gluconate and miconazole nitrate are active ingredients often found in veterinary skin shampoos, and this one pairs them at 2% each in an unscented, liquid base. It's not a substitute for a vet's diagnosis, and it's worth confirming use and frequency with your vet since it's formulated differently than a general cleansing shampoo.
What buyers say
A 4.8 star average across 2,700 reviews, with about 6,000 bottles bought in the past month, suggests owners using it for skin support are largely satisfied with the results.
What do chlorhexidine gluconate and miconazole nitrate do?
Both are active ingredients commonly used in veterinary skin care formulas. They're included here at 2% each rather than as filler, but this shampoo isn't a substitute for a vet's diagnosis of what's causing any skin issue.
Can I use this on a horse or cat, not just a dog?
The label lists dogs, cats and horses as target species, so it's formulated for use across all three, though you should still confirm the right use and frequency with a vet for your specific animal.
Is this shampoo scented?
No, this is the unscented version, which can be a better fit for pets sensitive to added fragrance in grooming products.
