Malaseb Medicated Shampoo for Dogs & Cats
Malaseb Medicated Foam shampoo for dogs and cats is an effective scientific solution formulated to cleanse and treat the skin and coat of canines. Its medicated property makes it an ideal solution for bacterial, fungal and yeast infections on the pet’s body. It destroys infective spores and common microorganisms that cause skin diseases such as ringworm in pets.
How it works?
Malaseb shampoo contains miconazole and chlorhexidine as the active ingredients. The anti-fungal nature of miconazole destroys all forms of fungi and yeast on the canine’s body. Chlorhexidine acts as the antimicrobial agent that fights various types of disease-causing bacteria found on dogs/cats. The combined effect of both the ingredients cleanses the skin of harmful microorganisms and treats it for scales, dermatitis symptoms, ringworm infections, seborrhoea etc. It prevents secondary infections and reduces itching and other skin problems in dogs and cats.
- Leave the shampoo on for the full 10 minutes where ever possible.
- Always make sure the coat is thoroughly wet before applying Malaseb, as this will make lathering and spreading easier.
- Using a wet sponge can help to spread the shampoo well. The sponge also holds water which again helps to ensure the coat is adequately wet during application.
- A damp cloth, with a little diluted foam can be used to clean the face of both cats and dogs.
- Whilst bathing cats is never easy, many will tolerate water better if it is not running. Using a 3 bucket technique, where all buckets are filled with warm water can help. The cat is dunked (not including head) into the first bucket and shampoo applied, then wrapped in a towel for the 10 minutes to stay warm and prevent licking foam. Once the 10 minutes is up the cat is sequentially dunked into the foamy water then remaining buckets to rinse the coat.
In the case of seborrhoeic dermatitis in dogs it is recommended that after shampooing with Malaseb, Pyohex Medicated Conditioner be applied. This will help to achieve both the benefits of moisturising with higher antiseptic levels on the skin and coat along with an extended duration of activity.

Ringworm is the most common fungal condition in cats, however it is also a well recognised problem in dogs.
Malaseb will help to sterilise the coat of ringworm spores, helping to speed recovery and prevent spread of the disease.
Ringworm in cats is a systemic disease which means that although you may only see a few spots, the cat is actually covered in ringworm infection, so all over treatment is needed.
Malaseb can be used alone or in combination with systemic medication (usually anti-fungal tablets) to treat ringworm. Combination therapy results in a faster cure than either alone.
It is important if you have young children or immune-compromised adults in the same household as an infected pet that you discuss this with your veterinarian or doctor. Ringworm can have serious consequences for those without a good immune system.
