Directions for Use & Bathing Protocol

For topical dermal bathing on dogs only:

1. Wetting the Coat: Thoroughly soak the dog's coat with lukewarm water from neck to base of tail, ensuring the water penetrates to the skin level.

2. Apply & Work Lather: Apply an adequate amount of shampoo along the spine. Gently massage into a rich lather, moving against the direction of hair growth to clean the skin beneath.

3. Target Irritated Areas: Focus on zones prone to itchiness and hot spots (neck folds, belly, groin, and flank), avoiding the eyes, inside of ears, and nostrils.

4. Contact Time (3 to 5 Minutes): Let the lather remain on the skin for 3 to 5 minutes to allow colloidal oatmeal and aloe vera to hydrate the skin.

5. Thorough Rinse: Rinse with clean lukewarm water until the runoff is clear.

6. Drying & Brushing: Towel dry gently with a soft cotton towel or use a blow dryer on a cool/low-heat setting. Brush the coat thoroughly once dry to remove loose fur and tangles.

7. Frequency: Use once weekly for active dry, itchy conditions, or every 2 to 3 weeks for regular grooming.

Safety Warnings, Precautions & Storage

• External Canine Use Only: Formulated specifically for dogs. Do not use internally.

• Avoid Eyes and Ears: Prevent lather from contacting the eyes or inner ear canals. If accidental ocular contact occurs, flush thoroughly with clean water.

• Severe Infections: While effective for dry skin and minor hot spots, cases of deep bacterial furunculosis, extensive pus-filled lesions, or parasitic mange require targeted clinical treatments (such as Intas Micodin or Aventix).

• Storage: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap closed tightly and out of reach of children and domestic pets.
