Can you use Hibiscrub in dogs with seborrhea dermatitis?

Thanks for using PetCoach! The concentration of chlorhexidine in that formulation tends to be higher than what we normally use in pets. You can use a veterinary [chlorhexidine shampoo](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/septiderm-v-antiseptic-skin-care-bath-grooming-shampoo-for-dogs-cats-and-horses) which contains a more diluted version of the chlorhexidine. That could help with a secondary infection. The seborrhea sometimes can improve with supplemented fish oil. You can get a veterinary version of fish oil online or at your local pet store. Good luck and have a good one!
