Dermcare – Malaseb – Medicated Shampoo
Veterinary-grade skin care for dogs and cats. Dermcare Malaseb Medicated Shampoo is an antifungal, antibacterial, and antipruritic shampoo formulated to manage a wide range of skin conditions in pets. Recommended by veterinarians, it is designed to treat primary and secondary seborrhoeic dermatitis, dermatophyte (ringworm) infections, and itchy, inflamed skin.
Why choose Malaseb Medicated Shampoo?
Skin infections in dogs and cats are not only uncomfortable for pets but can also lead to environmental contamination. Malaseb helps by treating the infection directly while sterilising the coat of fungal spores, reducing the risk of spreading to other pets or the household environment.
