Vetoquinol Universal Medicated Shampoo is a veterinary-formulated topical cleanser designed for dogs, cats, and horses to help manage common dermatological conditions. This broad-spectrum, pH-balanced shampoo contains Chloroxylenol 2%, Salicylic Acid 2%, and Sodium Thiosulfate 2%—active ingredients known for their antibacterial, keratolytic, and antifungal properties.

Ideal for pets suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, fungal infections, bacterial skin issues, and scaly or greasy skin, this universal medicated pet shampoo supports overall skin health, promotes healing, and provides a deep-cleansing yet gentle treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Vetoquinol Universal Medicated Shampoo?

  • Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action: Powered by Chloroxylenol, a proven antiseptic effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
  • Anti-Inflammatory & Exfoliating Support: Salicylic Acid softens keratin and removes flakes, relieving itchiness, scaling, and crusting.
  • Dermal Detoxification with Sodium Thiosulfate: Helps eliminate excess oil and neutralize toxins, contributing to a healthier coat.
  • Veterinary-Grade Skin Therapy: Suitable for treating mild to moderate skin conditions like pyoderma, hot spots, and allergic dermatitis.
  • Compatible with Sensitive Skin: Soap-free base with soothing surfactants makes it gentle for routine use on sensitive breeds or chronic skin conditions.
