Question 1

Why would I need medicated grooming products?

Accepted Answer

If your pet seems to struggle with skin issues on a regular basis related to things such as seasonal allergies, irritating dandruff, or eczema along with many other mild skin infections, a medicated grooming product could be exactly what they need to help them work through the problem instead of having to go to the vets.

Question 2

Should I ask my vet first?

Accepted Answer

It is not necessary to ask your vet for advice before using a medicated grooming product,  however, if a particular skin problem is worrying you and seems to be extremely irritating for your pet it is definitely worth going to your vet to see if your furry friend might require a stronger medication to help them clear the issue.

Question 3

Are mediated grooming products worth it?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, by keeping medicated grooming products handy you can always be sure that if your pet has a flare-up you've got them covered right away. You may not need them all the time, as some animals only struggle with their skin at certain times of the year or on occasion, but it is always helpful to keep at least one of these products in your cupboard so that when the problem arises you are able to deal with it quickly and effectively and potentially avoid the need for a trip to the vet.

Question 4

Can medicated grooming products hurt my pet?

Accepted Answer

Not at all, in fact, quite the opposite, medicated grooming products will often provide your pet with the relief that they need when they are experiencing a flare-up of an aggravated skin condition. Many medicated grooming products contain anti-inflammatories that will soothe the problem area rather than irritate it.
