Malaseb Medicated Pet Shampoo for Cats & Dogs - 250ml

Malaseb is registered to treat Seborrhoeic Dermatitis and Dermatophytosis. Seborrheic 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 skin surface. When there is a disruption to the skin’s natural ecosystem these bacteria and yeasts can overgrow causing disease.

Why is the natural balance disrupted?

• 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.

How does Malaseb help?

• Kills the micro-organisms, helping to keep the numbers of yeasts and bacteria at manageable levels.

• Removes excess scale and oils, commonly produced when the skin is infected

• Removes allergens such as pollens which can be caught in fur or on skin causing irritation.
