Licensed treatment in the form of a shampoo
Malaseb’s veterinary licensed formulation provides the reassurance of proven quality, effectiveness and safety (for the pet, owner and the environment) but with the added advantage of being available in a shampoo form.
It’s topical formulation allows the treatment to be applied to the site of overgrowth and the action of shampooing physically removes scale, crusts, greasy exudate and odour. What’s more it contains conditioners to leave the coat in a manageable condition.
