What antiseptic shampoo is best for my dog's worsening rash?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 7 months old | 4 lbs

Where can I find an antiseptic shampoo for Bella's rash? I've found on Amazon Curaserb but unfortunately it seems to be sold out and no longer in market, I've asked for a shampoo but the vet said that it's not needed since her rash will fade but it's increasing. I'm actually going to purchase Nexgard Spectra and some fish oil capsules before we leave for a road trip. Thank you for being so kind and patient with me. I appreciate that.

My favorite brand is Duoxo. It comes in a shampoo that has chlorhexidine and climbazole that treats bacterial and fungal problems. However, if you are unable to find this or something similar at a pet store then any drug store is likely to have a chlorhexidine OR salicylic acid shampoo in their human shampoo section. I hope this helps! Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
