Overview
A pet with scaly, oily skin is who this Pet MD shampoo is made for, using benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient. The soap-free formula cleans deeply and deodorizes, with a passion fruit scent.
A targeted ingredient suits skin that is more than just dry, which general oatmeal washes may not touch. The limitation is that the scent entry conflicts with the product text, and the percentage of benzoyl peroxide is not given.
Who it's for
A household managing greasy, scaly or itchy skin in a dog or cat and following the label closely. Pets with open sores, and owners wanting a gentle everyday wash, should look at another type of shampoo.
Pros and cons
- Benzoyl peroxide for oily skin
- Works for dogs and cats
- Percentage not listed
- Scented, may irritate
- Not a gentle everyday wash
Performance notes
Benzoyl peroxide helps lift oil and scale from the skin surface, and a soap-free base avoids stripping more than needed. Contact time and frequency decide how well it works, and neither is given on the page.
