Virbac Epiotic is the world's most widely used veterinary ear cleaning solution — a clinically proven, non-irritating ear cleaner specifically formulated to clean, dry, deodorize, and maintain the healthy ear environment of dogs and cats. Epiotic is not a treatment for ear infections — it is the preventive and maintenance ear cleaner that removes the wax, debris, and moisture that create the conditions for otitis externa (ear infection) to develop. Regular ear cleaning with Epiotic is the single most effective preventive measure for otitis externa — the most common ear condition in dogs and one of the most frequent reasons for veterinary consultation. Epiotic's unique formulation combines salicylic acid (ceruminolytic — dissolves ear wax), a monosaccharide solution (creates an osmotic environment that draws moisture from the ear canal), and EDTA-Tris (antimicrobial potentiator) — working together to clean the ear canal, reduce moisture, acidify the ear environment, and create conditions unfavorable for bacterial and yeast growth. Gentle enough for regular weekly use. Effective enough to be the ear cleaner that veterinary dermatologists recommend worldwide. 125ml — the ear hygiene solution that prevents the problem before it starts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-epiotic-is-the-best-choice\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac Epiotic Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"distilled-content-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe World's Most Widely Used Veterinary Ear Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e — Epiotic is the ear cleaning solution that veterinary dermatologists recommend and prescribe more than any other — the clinical gold standard for ear hygiene in dogs and cats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeruminolytic Action\u003c\/strong\u003e — Salicylic acid dissolves and loosens ear wax (cerumen) — allowing it to be flushed out of the ear canal rather than accumulating and creating a substrate for infection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e — The monosaccharide solution creates an osmotic environment that draws moisture from the ear canal — reducing the humidity that bacteria and yeast require to thrive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcidifying Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e — Epiotic acidifies the ear canal environment — creating a pH that is unfavorable for the growth of the bacteria and yeast most commonly responsible for otitis externa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEDTA-Tris — Antimicrobial Potentiator\u003c\/strong\u003e — Enhances the antimicrobial effect of the acidified environment — disrupting bacterial cell walls and increasing susceptibility to the ear's natural defenses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Irritating\u003c\/strong\u003e — Gentle enough for regular weekly use — does not irritate the sensitive skin of the ear canal even with frequent application.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeodorizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Removes the organic debris and microbial metabolites that produce the characteristic unpleasant odor of dirty or infected ears.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOtitis Prevention\u003c\/strong\u003e — Regular use prevents the wax accumulation, moisture retention, and pH shift that create the conditions for otitis externa to develop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Dogs \u0026amp; Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated for use in both species — a versatile veterinary ear cleaner for multi-pet households.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac — Veterinary Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e125ml\u003c\/strong\u003e — A practical size for regular maintenance ear cleaning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: lifestyle photo of a dog or cat having its ears cleaned with Epiotic — communicating the ease and gentleness of the cleaning process — or flat-lay of the Epiotic bottle with the clinical branding prominent.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Otitis Externa — The Problem Epiotic Prevents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Otitis externa (inflammation and infection of the external ear canal) is one of the most common conditions in dogs — accounting for approximately 10–20% of all veterinary consultations.

Virbac Pyoderm is a veterinary-grade antibacterial shampoo specifically formulated to treat pyoderma — bacterial skin infections — and associated skin conditions in dogs and cats. Pyoderma is one of the most common dermatological conditions in dogs and a significant cause of skin disease in cats — characterized by bacterial colonization of the skin that produces pustules, papules, crusts, scaling, hair loss, redness, and the characteristic unpleasant odor of infected skin. Standard grooming shampoos cannot treat pyoderma — bacterial skin infections require the specific antibacterial active ingredients that only veterinary-grade shampoos provide. Virbac Pyoderm delivers clinically proven antibacterial action — targeting the bacteria responsible for canine and feline pyoderma, reducing the bacterial burden on infected skin, supporting the resolution of active infections, and preventing recurrence when used as part of a comprehensive dermatological management program. From Virbac — the veterinary dermatology brand that professionals trust worldwide. 250ml — the veterinary antibacterial shampoo that treats pyoderma at its source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-pyoderm-is-the-best-choice\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac Pyoderm Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"distilled-content-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVeterinary Antibacterial Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — Specifically formulated to treat pyoderma and bacterial skin infections — not a general grooming shampoo, but a genuine veterinary antibacterial treatment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChlorhexidine — The Gold Standard Veterinary Antibacterial\u003c\/strong\u003e — Chlorhexidine is the most widely used and most clinically validated antibacterial agent in veterinary dermatology — broad-spectrum, residual activity, and excellent safety profile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroad-Spectrum Antibacterial Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Effective against the primary bacterial pathogens responsible for canine and feline pyoderma — particularly Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, the most common cause of canine pyoderma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Antibacterial Activity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Chlorhexidine binds to skin proteins and maintains antibacterial activity between baths — providing ongoing protection beyond the bathing session.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Decontamination\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reduces the bacterial burden on the skin surface — supporting the resolution of active infections and preventing recolonization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjunctive Therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e — Used alongside systemic antibiotics for moderate to severe pyoderma — topical antibacterial shampoo reduces the bacterial burden and supports faster resolution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonotherapy for Superficial Pyoderma\u003c\/strong\u003e — For mild, superficial pyoderma, topical antibacterial shampoo alone may be sufficient — reducing the need for systemic antibiotics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecurrence Prevention\u003c\/strong\u003e — Regular use as a maintenance shampoo prevents bacterial recolonization in dogs prone to recurrent pyoderma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Dogs \u0026amp; Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated for use in both species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac — Veterinary Dermatology Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac Pyoderm bottle with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a healthy dog or cat with clean, infection-free skin.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Pyoderma in Dogs and Cats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pyoderma (from the Greek \"pyo\" = pus, \"derma\" = skin) is a bacterial skin infection — one of the most common dermatological conditions in dogs and a significant cause of skin disease in cats.

Virbac HPM Cat Urology Dissolution \u0026amp; Prevention is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry cat food specifically formulated for the active dissolution of struvite crystals and uroliths, and the long-term prevention of struvite recurrence. Where the Virbac HPM Urinary WIB formula provides balanced dual protection against both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals, the Dissolution \u0026amp; Prevention formula is a struvite-targeted clinical diet — more aggressively formulated for urine acidification and mineral restriction to actively dissolve existing struvite deposits and prevent new struvite formation. This is the formula prescribed when struvite crystals have been confirmed by urinalysis or imaging — the clinical diet that works actively to resolve the existing crystal burden while simultaneously preventing recurrence. Struvite is the most common urinary crystal type in cats — and dietary dissolution is the preferred first-line treatment for struvite uroliths, avoiding the need for surgical removal in most cases. 1.5kg — the struvite dissolution and prevention diet that resolves the problem and keeps it resolved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-hpm-cat-urology-dissolution--prevention-is-the-best-choice\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac HPM Cat Urology Dissolution \u0026amp; Prevention Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"distilled-content-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive Struvite Dissolution\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated to actively dissolve existing struvite crystals and uroliths through urine acidification and mineral restriction — the dietary alternative to surgical urolith removal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStruvite Prevention\u003c\/strong\u003e — Maintains the urinary environment that prevents new struvite crystal formation after dissolution is complete — for long-term recurrence prevention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUrine Acidification\u003c\/strong\u003e — Targets a urine pH that dissolves struvite (which requires alkaline conditions to form and acidic conditions to dissolve) — the primary mechanism of dietary struvite dissolution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium \u0026amp; Phosphorus Restriction\u003c\/strong\u003e — Struvite is composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate — restricting these minerals reduces the substrate available for crystal formation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Moisture Encouragement\u003c\/strong\u003e — Increasing urine volume dilutes mineral concentrations and flushes the urinary tract — supporting both dissolution and prevention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStruvite-Confirmed Indication\u003c\/strong\u003e — The appropriate choice when struvite crystals have been confirmed by veterinary urinalysis or imaging — more targeted than the WIB formula for confirmed struvite cases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDissolution Without Surgery\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dietary struvite dissolution avoids the need for surgical cystotomy in most cases — a significant benefit for cat owners and cats alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Palatability\u003c\/strong\u003e — Clinical urinary diets must be consumed consistently for dissolution to occur — the Virbac HPM formula is formulated for high palatability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac HPM — Veterinary Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.5kg\u003c\/strong\u003e — The ongoing management size for the dissolution and prevention program.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac HPM Dissolution \u0026amp; Prevention bag with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a comfortable, healthy cat — communicating the urinary health the clinical diet restores.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStruvite — The Most Common Feline Urinary Crystal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate, MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O) is the most common urinary crystal type in cats — accounting for approximately 40–50% of feline uroliths submitted for analysis.

Virbac HPM Cat Advanced Kidney \u0026amp; Joint is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry cat food specifically formulated for the two most prevalent and frequently co-occurring conditions in senior cats — chronic kidney disease (CKD) and joint disease (osteoarthritis). These conditions are not coincidental companions — they share common risk factors, common inflammatory mechanisms, and common patient demographics. The senior cat who develops CKD is the same cat who develops joint disease — and managing one condition while ignoring the other produces incomplete clinical outcomes. Virbac HPM addresses both simultaneously through a precisely calibrated nutritional strategy that navigates the most challenging tension in feline clinical nutrition: kidney diets require controlled protein to reduce renal workload, but joint disease requires adequate protein to maintain the lean muscle mass that supports joint function and mobility. Virbac HPM Cat Advanced Kidney \u0026amp; Joint resolves this tension through high-quality, highly digestible protein at precisely controlled levels — providing adequate amino acids for muscle maintenance while minimizing the uremic toxin load on compromised kidneys.

Virbac HPM Cat Urology Urinary WIB is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry cat food specifically formulated to support feline urinary health — preventing and managing the full spectrum of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), including struvite crystals, calcium oxalate crystals, idiopathic cystitis, and urethral plugs. The \"WIB\" designation reflects the most clinically sophisticated aspect of this formula — a precisely balanced mineral profile that simultaneously prevents struvite crystal formation and calcium oxalate crystal formation, the two most common urinary crystal types in cats. Most urinary diets address one crystal type effectively but inadvertently promote the other — acidifying diets dissolve struvite but increase calcium oxalate risk; alkalizing diets prevent calcium oxalate but promote struvite. Virbac HPM Urinary WIB navigates this clinical tension through precise mineral balance, controlled pH targeting, and high moisture encouragement — protecting the entire urinary tract without compromising against either crystal type.

Virbac HPM Dog Hypoallergy With Hydrolysed Fish Protein is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry dog food formulated using hydrolysed fish protein — the most scientifically validated approach to eliminating food allergy reactions in dogs. Hydrolysis is the process of breaking protein molecules into fragments so small that the immune system can no longer recognize and react to them — eliminating the allergenic trigger at the molecular level rather than simply avoiding common allergens. This is not a \"grain-free\" or \"limited ingredient\" commercial food — it is a genuine clinical hypoallergenic diet, developed by Virbac's veterinary nutritionists and validated through clinical research, for dogs with confirmed or suspected food allergies and food intolerances. For dogs who have failed standard elimination diets, who react to multiple protein sources, or who require the most rigorous hypoallergenic formulation available — Virbac HPM Hypoallergy is the clinical answer. 3kg of veterinary-grade hypoallergenic nutrition — the diet that eliminates the reaction at its source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-hpm-dog-hypoallergy-hydrolysed-fish-protein-is-the-best-choice\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac HPM Dog Hypoallergy Hydrolysed Fish Protein Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"distilled-content-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolysed Fish Protein — The Gold Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — Protein hydrolysis breaks fish protein into peptide fragments below the molecular weight threshold that triggers immune recognition — eliminating the allergenic response at the molecular level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Hypoallergenic Formulation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Not a \"limited ingredient\" or \"grain-free\" commercial food — a genuine veterinary clinical hypoallergenic diet formulated to the most rigorous hypoallergenic standards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFish as the Hydrolysed Protein Source\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fish is selected as the hydrolysis substrate for its high digestibility, complete amino acid profile, and status as a novel protein for most dogs who have been fed chicken or beef-based diets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElimination Diet Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for use as the elimination diet in food allergy diagnosis protocols — the clinical standard for identifying food allergy triggers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-Term Management Diet\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for long-term feeding as the primary diet for dogs with confirmed food allergies — providing complete and balanced nutrition without allergenic triggers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac HPM — Veterinary Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies — the same scientific rigor applied to Virbac's pharmaceutical products, applied to clinical nutrition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete \u0026amp; Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs — all essential nutrients in appropriate proportions despite the clinical formulation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAddresses Multiple Allergy Manifestations\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for food allergy presenting as skin conditions (atopic dermatitis, pruritus), gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting), or both.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3kg Clinical Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e — A practical clinical diet size for ongoing management.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac HPM Hypoallergy bag with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a comfortable, itch-free dog — communicating the relief that the hypoallergenic diet provides.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Canine Food Allergy — The Problem This Diet Solves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Food allergy in dogs is an immune-mediated adverse reaction to one or more dietary proteins — the immune system incorrectly identifies a food protein as a threat and mounts an inflammatory response.

Virbac HPM Puppy Small \u0026amp; Toy is a veterinary-grade growth diet specifically formulated for the unique nutritional requirements of small and toy breed puppies — the breeds whose rapid early development, high metabolic rate, and small stomach capacity demand a fundamentally different nutritional approach from medium and large breed puppy foods. Small and toy breed puppies are not simply smaller versions of large breed puppies — they grow faster relative to their adult size, reach maturity earlier, burn more calories per kilogram of body weight, and have smaller mouths and stomachs that require smaller kibble and higher energy density per gram of food. Virbac HPM Puppy Small \u0026amp; Toy is formulated to address every one of these specific requirements — high energy density for the small breed metabolic rate, optimal protein for rapid muscle and organ development, precise calcium and phosphorus ratios for small breed skeletal development, DHA for brain and vision development, and a kibble size designed for small mouths. Veterinary-grade nutrition from Virbac — the animal health company that applies pharmaceutical-grade scientific rigor to every product it produces. 3kg — the growth diet that gives small breed puppies the nutritional foundation they deserve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-hpm-puppy-small--toy-is-the-best-choice\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac HPM Puppy Small \u0026amp;

Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS is a veterinary-grade keratolytic and antiseborrheic shampoo formulated with three clinically proven active ingredients — sulfur, iodine, and salicylic acid — specifically designed to treat seborrheic skin conditions, excessive scaling, and keratoseborrheic disorders in dogs and cats. Seborrhea is one of the most common and frustrating dermatological conditions in pets — characterized by abnormal skin cell turnover that produces excessive scaling, greasy or dry skin, unpleasant odor, and secondary bacterial and yeast infections. Standard grooming shampoos cannot address seborrhea — the condition requires the specific keratolytic, keratoplastic, and antimicrobial actions that only veterinary-grade active ingredients can provide. Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS delivers all three mechanisms simultaneously — salicylic acid dissolves the bonds between abnormal skin cells, sulfur normalizes skin cell turnover and provides antimicrobial action, and iodine provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage against the bacteria and yeast that colonize seborrheic skin. The result: reduced scaling, normalized skin texture, reduced odor, and a healthier skin barrier — from the veterinary dermatology brand that professionals trust. 250ml — the veterinary shampoo that treats seborrhea at its source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-sebolytic-sis-is-the-best-choice\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"distilled-content-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTriple Active Formula — SIS\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sulfur, Iodine, and Salicylic acid — three clinically proven active ingredients working synergistically to address every aspect of seborrheic skin disease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic Acid — Keratolytic Action\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dissolves the abnormal bonds between hyperkeratotic skin cells — removing scales and allowing normal skin cell turnover to resume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSulfur — Keratoplastic \u0026amp; Antimicrobial\u003c\/strong\u003e — Normalizes the rate of skin cell production (keratoplastic effect) and provides antimicrobial action against the bacteria and yeast that colonize seborrheic skin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIodine — Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage against bacteria, yeast (Malassezia), and fungi — addressing the secondary infections that complicate seborrhea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeborrhea Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e — Specifically formulated for seborrheic skin conditions — both seborrhea sicca (dry, flaky) and seborrhea oleosa (greasy, oily).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeratoseborrheic Disorders\u003c\/strong\u003e — Effective for the full spectrum of keratoseborrheic conditions including primary seborrhea, secondary seborrhea, and scaling disorders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOdor Reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e — The antimicrobial action reduces the bacterial and yeast overgrowth that produces the characteristic unpleasant odor of seborrheic skin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Dogs \u0026amp; Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated for use in both species — a versatile veterinary shampoo for multi-pet households.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac — Veterinary Dermatology Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies — the veterinary dermatology brand that professionals trust.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e250ml\u003c\/strong\u003e — A practical clinical shampoo size for ongoing dermatological management.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS bottle with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a well-groomed dog or cat with healthy, scale-free skin — communicating the skin health the shampoo restores.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Seborrhea in Dogs and Cats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Seborrhea is a disorder of keratinization — the process by which skin cells are produced, mature, and shed.
