Description
Petben shampoo is a medicated veterinary shampoo containing Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%). It is primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections, seborrhea (greasy/flaky skin), Demodex mange, and hair follicle inflammation in dogs and cats.
Key Uses and Benefits
- Bacterial Infections: Helps treat superficial to deep pyoderma (bacterial skin infections) and folliculitis.
- Seborrhea & Greasy Skin: Acts as an excellent degreaser to manage seborrheic dermatitis, removing excess oils, dirt, and dead skin cells.
- Demodex Mange: Aids in flushing hair follicles where mites burrow, making it highly effective when used before antiparasitic treatments like Amitraz.
- Acne: Aids in treating acne on the chin or face in both cats and dogs.
- Follicular Flushing: Cleans deep into hair follicles to remove scales, crusts, and secretions
How to Use
- Preparation: Wet your pet’s coat thoroughly using lukewarm water.
- Application: Apply enough shampoo to create a rich lather and massage it gently all over the coat, focusing on the affected areas.
- Contact Time: Leave the shampoo on for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the Benzoyl Peroxide to penetrate the skin and hair follicles.
- Rinse: Rinse the coat completely with clean water until all shampoo residue is gone.
Important Precautions
- Prescription Use: It is a medicated product; it is best to consult your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and application frequency (often recommended 1–3 times a week).
- External Use Only: Avoid contact with your pet’s eyes, ears, and mucous membranes.
