š¬ What the Science Says
Studies show that chlorhexidine, a key antiseptic ingredient, is highly effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungal pathogens like Malassezia pachydermatisāa common cause of dog skin allergies and hot spots.
A 2024 review by DogGear confirmed that chlorhexidine-based sprays are among the most recommended by vets for treating dog itchy skin, pyoderma, and yeast infections. These sprays not only disinfect but also reduce inflammation and promote faster healing.
Another study published in the MSD Veterinary Manual emphasized that antiseptics like chlorhexidine and ketoconazole are safe for topical use and do not impair wound healing, making them ideal for regular use in pets.
