Chlorhexidine 4% Shampoo for Dogs, Cats, and Horses

Chlorhexidine 4% Shampoo is a concentrated cleansing shampoo formulated with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate for dogs, cats, and horses. It's built as a higher-concentration option within Stratford's cleansing shampoo lineup, designed to help support normal skin hygiene and maintain clean, healthy-looking skin as part of a veterinarian-guided bathing routine.

Whether you're searching for a chlorhexidine shampoo for dogs, cats, or horses, this formula is designed to work into a full lather across all three species, following label directions and your veterinarian's guidance on bathing frequency.

What Is Chlorhexidine 4% Shampoo?

This is a chlorhexidine-only formula, meaning chlorhexidine gluconate is the sole active ingredient, at a 4% concentration. It's paired with penetrating agents and emollients intended to help the shampoo work into the coat thoroughly while bathing, and it's available in a Plum Blueberry scent.

What Does Chlorhexidine Shampoo Do?

Chlorhexidine gluconate is a widely used topical ingredient found in many veterinary and grooming shampoos. In this formula, it's combined with cleansing agents to provide a thorough wash while helping support normal skin hygiene. As with any topical product, your veterinarian is the best resource for determining whether a chlorhexidine-based shampoo fits your pet's specific skin care needs.

Key Ingredient: Chlorhexidine Gluconate 4%

The formula's single active ingredient is Chlorhexidine Gluconate at 4%, a higher concentration than many standard pet shampoos. The inactive ingredient list includes lauramine oxide, cocamidopropyl betaine, polysorbate 20, and glycolic acid, along with the Plum Blueberry fragrance.

Chlorhexidine Shampoo for Dogs

For dogs, this shampoo is designed to be worked into a full lather during a normal bath, then rinsed after the recommended contact time. It's suited to owners looking for a higher-concentration cleansing option as directed by their veterinarian.

Chlorhexidine Shampoo for Cats

The same formula is also labeled for cats, making it a practical choice for households with both dogs and cats that need a consistent bathing routine. As with dogs, use should follow label directions and any specific guidance from your veterinarian.

Chlorhexidine Shampoo for Horses

This shampoo is also formulated for horses, giving barns and multi-species households a single chlorhexidine option that covers dogs, cats, and horses alike. The higher 4% concentration and gallon size option make it practical for larger animals and higher-volume use.

Why a Higher-Concentration Formula

At 4% chlorhexidine gluconate, this shampoo sits at the stronger end of Stratford's cleansing shampoo range. Because of that higher concentration, it's intended to be used according to label directions and your veterinarian's recommended bathing frequency, rather than as an everyday shampoo.

Chlorhexidine 4% Shampoo vs. Keto-C Shampoo (Combination Formula)

Stratford also offers Keto-C Shampoo, which combines chlorhexidine with ketoconazole in a single formula. Chlorhexidine 4% Shampoo is a chlorhexidine-only option at a higher concentration, while Keto-C Shampoo pairs a lower chlorhexidine concentration with ketoconazole. Your veterinarian can help determine which active ingredient profile best fits your pet's
