What Is Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo?
Benzoyl peroxide shampoo is a medicated cleansing formula designed to provide deeper skin and follicular cleansing than a regular grooming shampoo.
Stratford's formula contains 3% benzoyl peroxide and is formulated to help remove excess oils and debris while supporting clean skin and hair follicles. It may be used as part of a veterinarian-directed skin-care routine when a medicated benzoyl peroxide shampoo is appropriate for your pet.

When May Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo Be Used?
Stratford Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo is formulated for cleansing skin and coat affected by scaling, itching associated with skin concerns, seborrheic conditions, and follicular plugging.
Because skin concerns can have different underlying causes, a veterinarian can help determine whether a benzoyl peroxide shampoo is appropriate for your pet and how frequently it should be used.
Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo vs. Regular Pet Shampoo
Regular pet shampoos are generally designed for routine cleansing of the coat. A benzoyl peroxide shampoo provides more targeted cleansing when deeper removal of excess oil and follicular debris is desired.
Because benzoyl peroxide is an active ingredient, this shampoo should be used according to its label directions and any guidance provided by your veterinarian rather than as a replacement for your pet's everyday grooming shampoo unless directed otherwise.
How to Use Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo
Follow the directions provided on the product label.
Wet the coat thoroughly before applying shampoo. Work the shampoo into the coat and skin as directed, taking care to avoid the eyes and other sensitive areas. Rinse thoroughly.
Follow the product label or your veterinarian's guidance regarding frequency of use.
