What chlorhexidine gluconate is
Chlorhexidine gluconate is a cleansing active used widely in professional and veterinary skin-care shampoos. In Davis Maximum Chlorhexidine it sits at 4%, paired with aloe vera. The percentage is printed on the front of the bottle, so you can check it against what your vet wrote down.
How to use chlorhexidine shampoo
- Brush out loose hair and mats, so the shampoo reaches the skin.
- Do a gentle first wash with Pure Planet Cucumber Melon Shampoo diluted 10:1, then rinse. This lifts oil and dirt that would otherwise sit between the active and the skin.
- Apply the medicated shampoo straight from the bottle. Do not dilute it. Work it down to the skin.
- Leave it on for the contact time printed on the label, or the time your vet gave you. This is the step most owners cut short.
- Rinse thoroughly, until the water runs clear.
- Finish with Pramoxine Anti-Itch Creme Rinse or Oatmeal Leave-On Conditioner.
- Dry fully, right down to the skin. A damp coat in Malaysian weather undoes a good bath.
How often to use it depends on your pet. Follow the label, or what your vet tells you.
See your vet first
Chlorhexidine shampoo is part of a grooming routine. It does not replace a vet visit. See your veterinarian before you start if your pet has open wounds, skin that bleeds or weeps, bald patches that are spreading, or a problem that keeps coming back. Keep the shampoo away from the eyes and ears.
