These are general guidelines and as each clinical case is different, always follow the direction of your veterinarian.
Generally, we recommend shampooing twice a week when your pet has an active infection, then once a week or fortnight for maintenance, depending on whether it is allergy season for that pet – don’t forget that one of the great benefits of shampooing is removing allergens like pollen from the fur.
The recommended dose for shampooing is 1-2mL/kg bodyweight.
For medicated shampoos, we need a 10-minute contact time. This is the optimal contact time for killing yeast and bacteria. Apply the shampoo to your pet, then lather.
🎾You can distract your dog with a game or toy during this time, take them for a walk or give them a massage. Some dogs will be best distracted by food! Always make sure they do not lick the shampoo foam.
Rinse thoroughly when the 10 minutes is up.
Aloveen Oatmeal Shampoo can be left on the coat for up to 5 minutes.
