Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is chlorhexidine gluconate and how does it support skin?

Ans: Chlorhexidine gluconate is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that targets bacterial and fungal skin pathogens. At 4% strength, it has documented activity against organisms including Malassezia pachydermatis, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, and dermatophytes commonly involved in pet skin infections.

Q2: Can the mousse be used on dogs, cats, and horses?

Ans: Yes, the formula is labeled and formulated for topical use on dogs, cats, and horses. The alcohol-free composition makes it suitable across species and gentle enough for ulcerated or abraded skin when used as directed by a veterinarian.

Q3: What is TrizEDTA and why is it included?

Ans: TrizEDTA is a combination of tromethamine and disodium EDTA that potentiates the antimicrobial activity of chlorhexidine. Together, they provide enhanced support against skin pathogens compared to chlorhexidine alone, making the mousse more effective against resistant bacteria.

Q4: How often should the mousse be applied to a pet?

Ans: Apply as directed by your veterinarian. Frequency depends on the condition being treated and severity of skin issues. Always follow professional guidance, and avoid overuse, as appropriate dosing depends on the diagnosis and individual response to therapy.

Q5: Is rinsing required after application?

Ans: No, the mousse is a leave-on formula. After massaging the foam into the coat and skin, allow it to air dry without rinsing. Once fully dry, brush the coat to distribute the product evenly through the fur.

Q6: Can the product be used on irritated or open skin?

Ans: Avoid contact with the pet's eyes and mouth during application. The mousse is for topical use only and should not be ingested. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling and applying the product to your pet.
