Chlorhexidine and Ketoconazole Wipes for Dogs & Cats
Keto-C® Wipes combine 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate and 1% Ketoconazole in a convenient topical format for dogs and cats. The pre-moistened wipes make targeted skin care easier when a full bath is unnecessary or when specific areas are difficult to reach with shampoo.
Their compact format is particularly useful for localized application, allowing pet owners to incorporate medicated skin care into a veterinarian-directed dermatology routine without treating the entire coat.
Why Use Medicated Wipes Instead of a Full Bath?
Shampoos are well suited to larger areas of the skin and coat, but localized skin concerns do not always require a complete bath.
Medicated wipes allow more precise application to smaller or difficult-to-reach areas. This makes them a practical option when topical care needs to focus on areas such as paws, between the toes, skin folds, underarms, or other localized areas.
The single-use format also provides a fresh wipe for each application rather than requiring the same applicator to be reused.
How Chlorhexidine and Ketoconazole Complement Each Other
Keto-C® Wipes contain two established topical ingredients used in veterinary dermatology formulations.
Chlorhexidine Gluconate provides antiseptic cleansing and antibacterial activity on the skin.
Ketoconazole provides antifungal activity and is used in topical formulations for skin conditions responsive to antifungal care.
Together, the two ingredients provide antibacterial and antifungal topical care in one pre-moistened wipe.
Where Keto-C® Wipes Fit in a Skin Care Routine
Different topical formats can serve different purposes depending on how much of the skin needs attention.
A medicated shampoo can be useful when care is needed across a larger portion of the coat. Wipes provide targeted application to smaller areas. A skin flush may be more appropriate for areas where a liquid application is preferred.
Using the format that matches the area being cared for can make a topical skin care routine more practical and easier to follow.
Explore Keto-C® Medicated Shampoo for broader bathing and skin care needs, or KETO-C® Flush when a liquid topical format is more appropriate.
Standard Keto-C® Wipes vs. Keto-C® XL Wipes
Stratford also offers Keto-C® XL Wipes for situations where a larger wipe format is preferred. Both formats use ketoconazole and chlorhexidine, but the larger wipe provides additional surface area for application.
For larger treatment areas or animals where a standard wipe feels too small, explore Keto-C® XL Wipes.
Important Application Considerations
Keto-C® Wipes are intended for topical use and each wipe should be used for one application only. Do not reuse a wipe after application.
Avoid using the wipes on open wounds, cuts, or raw areas. For those situations, follow your veterinarian's recommendations and consider the appropriate topical format. Do not allow your pet to lick the treated area until it has dried.
If skin irritation develops or increases, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.
