I noticed a lot of dog parents have a problem finding effective antibacterial shampoo for dogs, so we had a discussion about it on our Facebook group and I was able to get some good recommendations which I researched and was able to pick the best.
In this post, we will be looking at what I consider the best antibacterial shampoo based on recommendations and my research.
Douxo S3 PYO antiseptic shampoo
This shampoo has antibacterial properties but not only does cleanse and disinfect the skin but it also hydrates the skin.
This shampoo contains 3% chlorhexidine digluconate which is a very powerful antibacterial substance. This shampoo also contains ophytrium which is a natural ingredient that is extracted from the root of the Japanese mondo grass plant, it is very helpful in maintaining the mechanical skin barrier.
From what I was told, this shampoo has a very mild scent. It does not contain soap, sulfate, paraben, colorant, nanoparticles, and phthalates, it has a mild scent and lathers well, and it is made in the US.
