Description
MALASEB MEDICATED SHAMPOO – 1000ML BOTTLE
Malaseb is registered to treat Seborrhoeic Dermatitis and Dermatophytosis.
Seborrhoeic Dermatitis is the scientific name for a skin infection involving bacteria (Staphylococcus) and yeast (Malassezia). Dermatophytosis is the scientific name for ringworm, a condition which is not due to worms (like the name suggests) but is in fact a fungal infection.
It is normal in dogs to have low numbers of resident bacteria and yeasts on the skins surface. When there is a disruption to the skin’s natural ecosystem these bacteria and yeasts can overgrow causing disease.
Reasons for disruption to the natural balance
# Allergy, including to pollens, grasses, foods (meats) and fleas
# Parasites, such as fleas, mites and lice
# Hormonal problems
# Conformational problems such as deep skin folds, making sweaty crevices

Excellent product. Follow instructions and treated my dogs once a week for 3 weeks. Finally a product that works. Wish I found this earlier.
