This shampoo is built around a 4% concentration of chlorhexidine gluconate, an antiseptic cleansing agent, paired with surface-active penetrating agents and emollients that help the lather work into the coat. It is labeled for use on dogs, cats and horses, making it suitable for multi-species households and barns that want one cleansing shampoo for several animals. To use, the coat is wetted thoroughly, the shampoo is worked into a full lather over the entire body, and it is left in contact for several minutes before a complete rinse. The formula carries a plum blueberry fragrance and is intended to be used according to label directions or a veterinarian's recommended bathing schedule rather than as an everyday wash. It ships as a ready-to-use liquid with no mixing or assembly required. Storage at controlled room temperature, away from freezing, is recommended to keep the formula stable between uses.
