Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard: Skin Cleansing Support for Dogs and Cats
Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard are pre-moistened, no-rinse wipes made for dogs and cats that need routine skin cleansing between full baths. Each wipe combines two well-recognized topical ingredients, chlorhexidine gluconate and ketoconazole, with CeraGuard, a skin-identical lipid blend formulated to support the skin's natural barrier.
Because they require no rinsing, these wipes offer a simple way to spot-clean paws, skin folds, and other areas that are easy to miss during a full bath. They're designed to fit into a routine care plan established with your veterinarian, not to replace a full bath or veterinary evaluation of a skin concern.
What Are Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard?
Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard are a 30 count jar of soft, pre-moistened wipes for dogs and cats. Each wipe is formulated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% and Ketoconazole 1%, along with CeraGuard's skin-identical lipid concentrate. The wipe format makes it easy to clean specific areas without a full bath, which is especially helpful for pets who need frequent, targeted skin care.
Ingredient Profile
Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard are built around a short, purposeful ingredient list rather than a long list of fillers.
- Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% and Ketoconazole 1%, the wipe's active ingredients
- CeraGuard lipid concentrate, including Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Phytosphingosine, and Cholesterol
- Avena sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, a natural source of avenanthramides
- A water-based, no-rinse wipe formula with glycerin and lactic acid
What Is CeraGuard?
CeraGuard is Stratford's proprietary lipid concentrate. It's designed to closely resemble the lipids naturally found in a healthy skin barrier, which is why it's often described as skin-identical. Ceramides, phytosphingosine, and cholesterol work together with the skin's outer layer, while the oat kernel extract contributes avenanthramides. CeraGuard is included to help support the skin's natural barrier and help maintain normal moisture balance, particularly for pets who are wiped down or bathed frequently.
Who Is This Product For?
These wipes are formulated for both dogs and cats, making them a versatile option for multi-pet households. They're a good fit for pets who need regular attention to paws, skin folds, or other localized areas, and for owners who want a convenient, no-rinse way to help maintain clean, healthy-looking skin between full baths.
Best Areas to Use: Paws, Skin Folds, and Hard-to-Reach Spots
Paws, facial folds, armpits, and other skin folds are common trouble spots because they're harder to reach and dry thoroughly during a bath. Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard are sized and formulated for exactly this kind of targeted, no-rinse cleaning, so pet owners can address these areas as part of a normal grooming routine without running a full bath every time.
How Keto-C Wipes Fit Into Routine Skin Care
Wipes work well as a maintenance step between baths rather than as a replacement for a full-body wash. Many owners use them a few times a week on areas that need extra attention, while reserving shampoo or mousse formats for less frequent, full-coverage cleansing. Used consistently, this kind of routine can help support clean, healthy-looking skin and help maintain the benefits of a full bath for longer.
Keto-C Wipes vs. Keto-C Shampoo with CeraGuard
Keto-C Shampoo with CeraGuard is built for full-body bathing and broader coverage, while the wipes are designed for quick, targeted, no-rinse cleaning of specific areas. Pets with widespread skin care needs often use the shampoo for regular baths and keep the wipes on hand for touch-ups on paws and skin folds in between.
Keto-C Wipes vs. Keto-C Mousse and Spray with CeraGuard
The mousse and spray formats are also designed for use between baths, but they cover larger areas of the coat and skin at once. Wipes are better suited to smaller, localized spots where precision matters, such as paw pads or facial folds. Many pet owners keep more than one format on hand and choose based on how much surface area needs attention that day.
How to Use Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard
Gently wipe the affected area with a single wipe, following your veterinarian's recommended frequency for your pet's specific needs. No rinsing is required. Discard the wipe after use and avoid contact with the eyes. Always follow the directions on the product label and any guidance provided by your veterinarian.
Product Size and Count
Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard are available in a 30 count jar, sized for regular, ongoing use as part of a routine care schedule rather than a one-time treatment.
Dogs and Cats: A Formula for Multiple Species
Unlike some Stratford formats that are dog-only, these wipes are formulated for both dogs and cats. This makes them a practical option for households with more than one type of pet, since the same product can be used across species as directed.
When to Ask a Veterinarian
Keto-C Wipes with CeraGuard are intended to support routine skin care, not to diagnose or address an underlying skin condition. If your pet shows ongoing redness, odor, hair loss, or discomfort, or if you're unsure how often to use these wipes for your pet's specific situation, talk to your veterinarian before starting or continuing a topical care routine.
