Medicated Pet Shampoo

A medicated dog shampoo is a type of gentle wash specifically made for your furry friend that has been formulated by professional veterinarians. It is made up of a broad spectrum of both antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

The two specific elements incorporated into the medicated dog shampoo and their corresponding quantities are the following:

• 1% Ketoconazole
• 2% Chloroxylenol

Fun fact: It is not only suitable for dogs, but it is also perfectly safe to use on horses and cats.

The edge that a medicated dog shampoo has over its ordinary counterparts is that it is formulated to effectively retrieve and sustain as much nutrients as it can through the use of nano-sized liposomes.

These liposomes are little sacs holding together the necessary ingredients and carry it through the surface of your dog’s skin. From there, they distribute it to areas that need it the most and keep your dog healthier with every bath.

Yes, our Bullybed medicated shampoo is also an antimicrobial shampoo for dogs. The 2% Chloroxylenol mixed into the formula is what offers the antimicrobial (or antibacterial) effects.

Medicated dog shampoo is perfectly fine for dogs of all breeds and sizes. They are not limited to the kind of dog you have, but more so on the kind of health and coat condition your furry friend is experiencing at the given moment.

There are multiple reasons for you to choose an antimicrobial shampoo for dogs instead of the ordinary ones. Medicated dog shampoo covers a wide range of health issues, and the most common ones are:

Allergies

Whether your dog is experiencing environmental allergies, seasonal allergies, or inborn ones, specifically formulated shampoos can help alleviate symptoms and soothe discomforts. They remove allergic triggers from staying on the surface of your dog's skin and greatly reduce the intensity of allergic reactions.

Some symptoms of allergies in dogs include:

• Seasonal or constant itchiness
• Excessive licking
• Excessive scratching
• Constant chewing on skin
• Constant rubbing
• Loss of hair
• Red or inflamed skin, also known as hot spots
• Chronic ear infections
• Persistent skin infections

Fungal and bacterial infections

Antimicrobial shampoo for dogs is perfect for treating fungal and bacterial infections such as yeast, ringworm, and the like. Some of the most common symptoms of these are:

• Loss of hair
• Crusty, dry skin
• Pimples
• Seasonal or constant itchiness

Investing in a medicated dog shampoo not only eases the discomfort that the above symptoms bring, but they also prevent new ones from forming.

Parasites

Fleas are the most common parasites in dogs and can cause a hefty amount of skin problems. They can also trigger allergic reactions when they bite canines. While a bath can definitely offer immediate relief, getting a medically formulated shampoo can help keep parasites at bay for the long run and treat any current skin conditions.

Mites are also another common parasite that causes mange, scabs, sores, and more. If your pet is suffering from this, medically formulated shampoos as topical treatments can do wonders for your dog’s quality of life.
