Chlorhexidine Spray – 8 fl oz
FDA-Registered • NDC 86247-002-08 • Made in USA • Manufactured by Vetio Animal Health
Vetified Chlorhexidine Spray is a veterinary-strength, dual-action antiseptic formulated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% and Ketoconazole 1% to target bacterial and fungal skin infections in dogs and cats. This is not a grooming product — it is an OTC veterinary drug registered with the FDA and listed on DailyMed, the U.S. National Library of Medicine drug database.
Active Ingredients
- Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% — Broad-spectrum antiseptic that disrupts bacterial cell membranes on contact. Effective against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms commonly involved in pyoderma and superficial bacterial folliculitis.
- Ketoconazole 1% — Antifungal agent that inhibits ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes. Targets Malassezia pachydermatis, the yeast species responsible for the majority of canine yeast dermatitis cases.
Clinical Indications
Formulated to help manage:
- Pyoderma and superficial bacterial skin infections
- Yeast dermatitis (Malassezia)
- Hot spots (acute moist dermatitis)
- Ringworm (dermatophytosis)
- Skin fold dermatitis
- Post-surgical wound maintenance
Mechanism of Action
The dual-action formula delivers concurrent antibacterial and antifungal activity in a single application. Chlorhexidine provides rapid bactericidal action with residual antimicrobial activity on the skin surface. Ketoconazole targets fungal overgrowth often present alongside bacterial infection. The fine-mist spray nozzle delivers micro-droplets through the coat directly to the skin for targeted coverage with minimal product waste.
Directions for Use
Apply to dry skin. Spray directly on affected areas and massage liquid into skin until absorbed. Wash hands after use. Use once a day, or as directed by your veterinarian.
