Directions for Use & Bathing Protocol

For external topical bathing in dogs and cats:

Step-by-Step Bathing Guide:

1. Water Temperature (Crucial for Allergic Pets): Always use lukewarm or cool water. Warm or hot water dilates cutaneous blood vessels, accelerates moisture evaporation, and reactivates inflammatory histamine pathways, making allergic pets itch more after the bath.

2. Initial Wetting: Thoroughly wet the pet's entire coat and skin with lukewarm water from neck to tail.

3. Application: Apply ATOP 7® Shampoo along the pet's spine, chest, belly, and legs.

4. Gentle Lathering: Massage gently over the entire body until a smooth, creamy foam is formed. The rich texture ensures comfortable contact even over tender, irritated skin patches.

5. The 2-Minute Contact Period (Essential): Leave the shampoo on the coat and skin for at least 2 minutes. This allows the caper bud extract, essential oils, and PCA sugar complex to penetrate the stratum corneum and bind moisture before rinsing.

6. Thorough Rinsing: Rinse completely with plenty of clean, lukewarm water until all traces of foam are removed.

7. Drying Technique: Gently pat dry using a clean, soft microfiber towel. Avoid high-heat blow dryers, which dry out the newly hydrated skin barrier and trigger immediate itching.

Bathing Frequency Guidelines:

• Active Allergic Flares: Bathe 1 to 3 times per week as directed by your veterinarian to continuously clear environmental allergens and soothe inflammation.

• Routine Maintenance & Prevention: Bathe once every 1 to 2 weeks to sustain skin hydration and keep the coat clean and comfortable.

Safety Warnings, Precautions & Storage

• External Topical Use Only: Formulated strictly for bathing companion animals. Avoid contact with the pet’s eyes, inside the ears, and mucous membranes. In case of accidental eye contact, rinse thoroughly with clean lukewarm water.

• Spot-On Compatibility: Do not bathe your pet within 48 hours before or 48 hours after applying topical spot-on treatments (such as Dermoscent ATOP 7® Spot-On or Fiprofort Plus) to ensure the cutaneous lipid layer remains intact for proper spot-on diffusion.

• Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly capped after each use. Keep strictly out of reach of children and domestic pets.
