CeraGuard® M Hex Shampoo

Chlorhexidine & Miconazole Shampoo for Dogs and Cats

CeraGuard® M Hex Shampoo combines Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% and Miconazole 2% with CeraGuard® skin barrier technology in one medicated formula for dogs and cats. It's designed for pets who need a consistent, veterinarian-guided bathing routine that supports both skin hygiene and the skin's natural barrier at the same time.

This shampoo is best used as directed by your veterinarian, as part of an ongoing topical care plan rather than a one-time wash.

What Is CeraGuard M Hex Shampoo?

This is a dual-purpose medicated shampoo. Chlorhexidine and Miconazole are included for broad, thorough cleansing to help manage bacteria and yeast on the skin and coat, while CeraGuard® technology is included to help support and restore the skin's natural barrier during repeated bathing. The two work together so that regular medicated washing doesn't come at the expense of skin moisture and comfort.

Chlorhexidine and Miconazole: What They Do

Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Miconazole are included together for broad-spectrum cleansing, helping manage bacteria and yeast present on the skin and coat. This shampoo is intended for pets already under a veterinarian's guidance for ongoing skin and coat care, not as a stand-alone remedy for a specific skin condition.

What Is CeraGuard Technology?

CeraGuard® is a skin-identical lipid concentrate made from a proprietary blend of Ceramides, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol, and Avenanthramides. These are the same types of lipids naturally found in healthy skin, and they're included here to help support and restore the skin barrier, help lock in moisture, and help maintain the skin's natural moisture balance, even with frequent medicated bathing.

Ingredient Profile

• Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2%: Included for broad-spectrum cleansing and to help manage bacteria on the skin
• Miconazole 2%: Included to help manage yeast on the skin
• CeraGuard® (Ceramides, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol, Avenanthramides): Included to help support and restore the skin's natural barrier

Who This Shampoo Is For

This shampoo is formulated for dogs and cats that need regular, veterinarian-guided skin and coat care, particularly pets on a consistent bathing schedule who also need extra support maintaining skin moisture and barrier health between washes.

How to Use

Wet your pet's coat thoroughly with warm water, apply the shampoo, and massage into a rich lather. Allow it to remain on the coat for 5 to 10 minutes as contact time, then rinse completely. Use as directed by your veterinarian for the frequency and duration that best fits your pet's routine.

Available Sizes

CeraGuard® M Hex Shampoo is available in 8 oz and 16 oz bottles, so you can choose the size that best matches your pet's coat length, bathing frequency, and household needs.

Medicated Shampoo vs. Regular Pet Shampoo

A regular pet shampoo is generally built around cleansing and coat conditioning. A medicated shampoo like this one adds active ingredients intended to help manage bacteria and yeast on the skin, which is why it's meant to be used under veterinary guidance rather than as an everyday replacement for routine grooming shampoo.

Routine Care and Bathing Frequency

Because this shampoo is designed for repeated, ongoing use, the CeraGuard barrier support ingredients are included specifically to help offset the drying effects that frequent medicated bathing can have on skin. Following your veterinarian's recommended bathing schedule helps this formula do both jobs consistently: supporting hygiene and supporting skin barrier health.

When to Ask a Veterinarian

This shampoo is intended for use as part of a veterinarian-directed skin care routine. If your pet's skin doesn't improve, if irritation develops, or if you're unsure how often to bathe your pet with a medicated shampoo, check with your veterinarian before continuing use.
