    Effedtive Reducing Bacteria on Skin

    products.reviews.post_on_by

    This 4% Chlorhexidine shampoo is excellent for reducing bacteria on skin. The same concentration used for surgical scrub, I like it because it does not have a strong fragrance and rinses cleanly. It suds well with sufficient water added. Since 4% is maximum strength (2% being the minimum to kill bacteria) the addition of water does not impact the effectiveness. Also I leave it on for 10-15 minutes and massage it in before rinsing. My dog enjoys the massage. The lower the % Chlorhexidine the longer it takes to kill the bacteria. I usually don't use conditioner but it can be a little drying so I apply a little afterwards. So far using it 2-4/ month has been sufficient to control my Samoyed's pyoderma & Staph infections. It is a no frills 4% Chlorhexidine shampoo but more reasonably priced then others I've found.

    Effective for Reducing Bacteria on Skin

    Reviewed on 18th Aug 2015 by Snowdawg

    My vet recommended using a 4% Chlorhexidine shampoo to prevent Staph infections on my dog's skin. This product is well priced and does not have a lot of extra added ingredients. The fragrance is minimal and not that noticeable. Your dog will not smell like perfume after bathing. I usually like to dilute my shampoo so I can evenly distribute the soap on my very furry Samoyed but I was concerned about diluting the Chlorhexidine in the process so I didn't in this instance. Consequently it took me a while to develop a good lather and I found it necessary to rewet him. Once I did add more water it lathered up well and rinsed cleanly. Since 2% CHG is sufficient to kill bacteria, the addition of water when shampooing is probably compensated by the stronger 4%CHG strength.I massaged it in for 15 minutes before rinsing. His fur felt 'squeaky' clean so I finished with a light cream rinse and his coat & skin looks clean & healthy. I'm currently planning on using it 2-4 times a monthly but may have to apply it weekly if that is not enough. I really like the results I get with Chlorhexidine and am glad to find a 4% in an economy size that isn't super expensive.
