Comprehensive medicated shampoo for the treatment of bacterial, yeast, and fungal skin infections.
Dermcare Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo is a topical keratolytic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antipruritic shampoo specifically formulated for dogs and cats. It is clinically indicated for the treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis caused by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (bacteria) and Malassezia pachydermatis (yeast), as well as an aid in the management of ringworm (dermatophytosis) infections caused by Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
This medicated shampoo helps to remove scales, degrease the skin, and eliminate cutaneous micro-organisms that are primary or secondary contributors to dermatitis, supporting a healthier coat and skin.
Active Ingredients
- Chlorhexidine Gluconate 20 g/L – Broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that kills disease-causing bacteria on the skin.
- Miconazole Nitrate 20 g/L – Antifungal agent effective against yeast and dermatophytes.
How Malaseb Helps Your Pet
- Removes scales and excess oil – Helps restore the skin’s natural balance.
- Controls bacterial and yeast infections – Eliminates Staphylococcus and Malassezia overgrowth.
- Supports fungal infection management – Assists in the treatment of ringworm in dogs and cats.
- Reduces itching and irritation – Soothes inflamed, itchy skin for improved comfort.
Why Pets Get Skin Infections
It is normal for dogs and cats to have low levels of bacteria and yeast on their skin. However, when the skin’s natural ecosystem is disrupted, overgrowth can occur, leading to infection. Common underlying causes include:
- Allergies – environmental (pollens, weeds), food-related, or flea allergy.
- Parasites – fleas, mites, and lice.
- Hormonal or endocrine disorders.
Effective treatment of both the secondary infection and any underlying cause is critical for optimal skin health. Your veterinarian can provide diagnostic tests such as cytology to identify the specific micro-organisms and determine the best treatment plan.
Directions for Use
-
Preparation: Wet your pet thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water.
-
Application: Apply Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo at several points and massage into the coat. Use a sponge to improve lathering and ensure penetration, especially around the lips, under the tail, and between the toes where organisms commonly reside.
-
Dosage: Use approximately 1–2 mL per kg of body weight. For example:
-
50 mL is sufficient for a 30 kg medium-haired dog
-
7–10 mL is sufficient for an adult cat
-
-
Contact Time: Leave shampoo on for 10 minutes, supervising your pet to prevent ingestion or inhalation.
-
Rinse: Thoroughly rinse with clean water to remove all shampoo residue.
-
Frequency: Repeat twice weekly until symptoms improve, then weekly or as advised by your veterinarian. For ringworm treatment, all in-contact animals should be treated to limit spread.
Tips for Bathing Cats
- Avoid running water – fill 3 large buckets with warm water.
- Gently dunk the cat (excluding the head) into the first bucket, apply shampoo, and lather.
- Wrap the cat in a towel for the 10-minute contact time to keep them warm and prevent licking.
- Sequentially dunk the cat in the remaining two buckets to thoroughly rinse all shampoo.
Cautions & Safety
- Use with caution around eyes: Flush thoroughly with clean water if shampoo enters eyes. Seek veterinary advice if irritation occurs.
- Supervise during contact time: Licking or inhaling shampoo foam may irritate the gastrointestinal or respiratory tract.
- Species restriction: For use in dogs and cats only. Do not use in rabbits or other species.
- Protective measures: Wear rubber gloves during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
First Aid
- If swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Australia 131126).
- If in eyes: Hold eyes open, flush with water for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical attention.
Storage & Disposal
- Storage: Keep below 30°C (room temperature) in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and pets.
- Disposal: Wrap container in paper and place in garbage.

Should rename this Smell-Be-Gone
By: Express on 8 April 2016My hound had a yeast infection of his coat. I was recommended this product by a local vet but found it cheaper at The Vet Shed including delivery to the UK. The product works an absolute treat, with my dog now shiny and no longer smelling like a dockers armpit, and the service from The Vet Shed is second to none. Highly recommended all round.
