Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What conditions are these wipes indicated for?
Ans: They support healthy skin in animals with conditions responsive to chlorhexidine, including superficial bacterial and fungal skin infections, acute moist dermatitis (hot spots), and pododermatitis. The 4% chlorhexidine concentration provides effective coverage against common skin pathogens in dogs, cats, and horses.
Q2: Why include TrizEDTA along with chlorhexidine?
Ans: TrizEDTA synergizes with chlorhexidine to disrupt bacterial biofilms and enhance antiseptic effectiveness. The combination ensures deeper cleansing of affected areas and improves performance against resistant bacterial strains compared to chlorhexidine-only formulas in topical wipe products.
Q3: Where on the body can the wipes be used?
Ans: They are ideal for skin folds, paws, armpits, elbows, and between the toes. The pre-moistened format makes them especially useful for hard-to-reach areas where applying liquids or sprays would be difficult or messy during routine pet care.
Q4: How often should the wipes be used?
Ans: Use as directed by your veterinarian. Frequency depends on the skin condition, symptom severity, and the individual pet's response. Most pets benefit from daily use during active flare-ups, then less frequent application for ongoing maintenance and prevention.
Q5: Are the wipes safe to use on cats and horses?
Ans: Yes, the formula is labeled for use in dogs, cats, and horses. The non-irritating composition makes it suitable across species when applied as directed. Always consult your veterinarian for cats, as they are more sensitive to topical products.
Q6: Can these wipes be used on open wounds?
Ans: Avoid using the wipes on open or deep wounds unless advised by a veterinarian. While chlorhexidine is antimicrobial, it may delay wound healing in some cases. Always seek professional veterinary guidance before treating open wounds at home.
Q7: Do the wipes need to be rinsed off after application?
Ans: No, rinsing is not required. The leave-on action allows chlorhexidine and TrizEDTA to continue working on the skin after wiping, providing extended antimicrobial protection and soothing effects between applications without requiring additional cleaning steps.
Q8: How quickly will skin improvement become visible?
Ans: Results vary by condition and severity. If your pet's skin condition does not improve within 7 to 10 days of consistent use, seek veterinary advice. Some chronic conditions may require longer use combined with other treatments for visible improvement.
Q9: What is the proper way to dispose of used wipes?
Ans: Do not flush the wipes down the toilet. Dispose of used wipes in regular household waste to prevent plumbing issues. The wipes are biodegradable but not flushable, so always trash them after each use.
Q10: How should the package be stored at home?
Ans: Store at room temperature in a cool, dry location with the resealable lid tightly closed. This keeps the wipes moist and effective. Keep the package out of reach of children and other animals to prevent accidental contact or ingestion.
