Digestive precision. Virbac HPM Dog Digestive Support is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry dog food specifically formulated to support dogs with digestive disorders — including sensitive stomach, food intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), acute and chronic diarrhea, and malabsorption conditions. Virbac HPM (Health Prescription Management) is the veterinary nutrition line from Virbac — one of the world's leading animal health companies, with over 50 years of veterinary expertise — and the Digestive Support formula reflects the same scientific rigor that Virbac applies to its pharmaceutical and veterinary products. This is not a standard commercial dog food — it is a clinical diet developed in collaboration with veterinary nutritionists and gastroenterologists, formulated to the precise nutritional specifications that dogs with compromised digestive systems require. Highly digestible proteins. Prebiotic fiber. Controlled fat. Optimal nutrient absorption. Everything a dog with digestive challenges needs — in a complete, balanced, veterinary-grade dry food. 1.5kg — the clinical diet that makes a measurable difference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-hpm-dog-digestive-support-is-the-best-choice\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac HPM Dog Digestive Support Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_ua7qq_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVeterinary Clinical Nutrition\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated by Virbac's veterinary nutritionists specifically for dogs with digestive disorders — not a general \"sensitive stomach\" commercial food, but a genuine clinical diet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Digestible Proteins\u003c\/strong\u003e — Selected protein sources with high digestibility coefficients — maximizing nutrient absorption while minimizing the digestive load on a compromised gastrointestinal system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrebiotic Fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e — Specific dietary fiber blend that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, supports healthy gut microbiome composition, and regulates gut transit — addressing the root cause of many digestive disorders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControlled Fat Content\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reduced and carefully controlled fat content — fat is the most difficult macronutrient to digest, and reducing fat load significantly reduces digestive stress in dogs with compromised fat absorption.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal Nutrient Absorption\u003c\/strong\u003e — The formula is designed to maximize the absorption of nutrients even in dogs with compromised intestinal function — ensuring adequate nutrition despite reduced absorptive capacity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac HPM — Veterinary Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies — the same scientific rigor applied to Virbac's pharmaceutical products, applied to clinical nutrition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAddresses Multiple Digestive Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for sensitive stomach, food intolerance, IBD, acute diarrhea, chronic diarrhea, and malabsorption — a versatile clinical diet for the full spectrum of canine digestive disorders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete \u0026amp; Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs — the dog receives all essential nutrients despite the clinical formulation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVeterinarian Recommended\u003c\/strong\u003e — Developed in collaboration with veterinary gastroenterologists — the clinical diet that veterinarians trust and recommend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac HPM Digestive Support bag with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a healthy, comfortable dog eating from a bowl of the Virbac HPM kibble.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVirbac HPM — The Veterinary Nutrition Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Virbac is one of the world's leading animal health companies — founded in France in 1968, with operations in over 100 countries and a portfolio spanning pharmaceuticals, vaccines, diagnostics, and clinical nutrition.

Hydrolysis is the process of breaking protein molecules into fragments so small that the immune system can no longer recognize and react to them — eliminating the allergenic trigger at the molecular level rather than simply avoiding common allergens. This is not a \"grain-free\" or \"limited ingredient\" commercial food — it is a genuine clinical hypoallergenic diet, developed by Virbac's veterinary nutritionists and validated through clinical research, for dogs with confirmed or suspected food allergies and food intolerances. For dogs who have failed standard elimination diets, who react to multiple protein sources, or who require the most rigorous hypoallergenic formulation available — Virbac HPM Hypoallergy is the clinical answer. 3kg of veterinary-grade hypoallergenic nutrition — the diet that eliminates the reaction at its source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-hpm-dog-hypoallergy-hydrolysed-fish-protein-is-the-best-choice\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac HPM Dog Hypoallergy Hydrolysed Fish Protein Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_ua7qq_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolysed Fish Protein — The Gold Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — Protein hydrolysis breaks fish protein into peptide fragments below the molecular weight threshold that triggers immune recognition — eliminating the allergenic response at the molecular level.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Hypoallergenic Formulation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Not a \"limited ingredient\" or \"grain-free\" commercial food — a genuine veterinary clinical hypoallergenic diet formulated to the most rigorous hypoallergenic standards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFish as the Hydrolysed Protein Source\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fish is selected as the hydrolysis substrate for its high digestibility, complete amino acid profile, and status as a novel protein for most dogs who have been fed chicken or beef-based diets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElimination Diet Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for use as the elimination diet in food allergy diagnosis protocols — the clinical standard for identifying food allergy triggers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-Term Management Diet\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for long-term feeding as the primary diet for dogs with confirmed food allergies — providing complete and balanced nutrition without allergenic triggers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac HPM — Veterinary Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies — the same scientific rigor applied to Virbac's pharmaceutical products, applied to clinical nutrition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete \u0026amp; Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs — all essential nutrients in appropriate proportions despite the clinical formulation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAddresses Multiple Allergy Manifestations\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for food allergy presenting as skin conditions (atopic dermatitis, pruritus), gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting), or both.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3kg Clinical Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e — A practical clinical diet size for ongoing management.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac HPM Hypoallergy bag with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a comfortable, itch-free dog — communicating the relief that the hypoallergenic diet provides.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Canine Food Allergy — The Problem This Diet Solves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Food allergy in dogs is an immune-mediated adverse reaction to one or more dietary proteins — the immune system incorrectly identifies a food protein as a threat and mounts an inflammatory response.

Virbac HPM Dog Weight Loss \u0026amp; Diabetes is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry dog food specifically formulated to address two of the most prevalent and serious metabolic conditions in dogs — obesity and diabetes mellitus. These conditions are deeply interconnected: obesity is the primary risk factor for canine diabetes, and effective weight management is the cornerstone of diabetes control. Virbac HPM addresses both simultaneously through a precisely calibrated nutritional strategy — high protein to preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss, low fat to reduce caloric density, low glycemic index carbohydrates to stabilize blood glucose, and high dietary fiber to promote satiety and regulate glucose absorption.

Small and toy breed puppies are not simply smaller versions of large breed puppies — they grow faster relative to their adult size, reach maturity earlier, burn more calories per kilogram of body weight, and have smaller mouths and stomachs that require smaller kibble and higher energy density per gram of food. Virbac HPM Puppy Small \u0026amp; Toy is formulated to address every one of these specific requirements — high energy density for the small breed metabolic rate, optimal protein for rapid muscle and organ development, precise calcium and phosphorus ratios for small breed skeletal development, DHA for brain and vision development, and a kibble size designed for small mouths. Veterinary-grade nutrition from Virbac — the animal health company that applies pharmaceutical-grade scientific rigor to every product it produces. 3kg — the growth diet that gives small breed puppies the nutritional foundation they deserve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-hpm-puppy-small--toy-is-the-best-choice\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac HPM Puppy Small \u0026amp;

Virbac HPM Cat Advanced Kidney \u0026amp; Joint is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry cat food specifically formulated for the two most prevalent and frequently co-occurring conditions in senior cats — chronic kidney disease (CKD) and joint disease (osteoarthritis). These conditions are not coincidental companions — they share common risk factors, common inflammatory mechanisms, and common patient demographics. The senior cat who develops CKD is the same cat who develops joint disease — and managing one condition while ignoring the other produces incomplete clinical outcomes. Virbac HPM addresses both simultaneously through a precisely calibrated nutritional strategy that navigates the most challenging tension in feline clinical nutrition: kidney diets require controlled protein to reduce renal workload, but joint disease requires adequate protein to maintain the lean muscle mass that supports joint function and mobility. Virbac HPM Cat Advanced Kidney \u0026amp; Joint resolves this tension through high-quality, highly digestible protein at precisely controlled levels — providing adequate amino acids for muscle maintenance while minimizing the uremic toxin load on compromised kidneys.

Virbac HPM Cat Urology Urinary WIB is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry cat food specifically formulated to support feline urinary health — preventing and managing the full spectrum of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), including struvite crystals, calcium oxalate crystals, idiopathic cystitis, and urethral plugs. The \"WIB\" designation reflects the most clinically sophisticated aspect of this formula — a precisely balanced mineral profile that simultaneously prevents struvite crystal formation and calcium oxalate crystal formation, the two most common urinary crystal types in cats. Most urinary diets address one crystal type effectively but inadvertently promote the other — acidifying diets dissolve struvite but increase calcium oxalate risk; alkalizing diets prevent calcium oxalate but promote struvite. Virbac HPM Urinary WIB navigates this clinical tension through precise mineral balance, controlled pH targeting, and high moisture encouragement — protecting the entire urinary tract without compromising against either crystal type.

Prevent recurrence. Virbac HPM Cat Urology Dissolution \u0026amp; Prevention is a veterinary clinical nutrition dry cat food specifically formulated for the active dissolution of struvite crystals and uroliths, and the long-term prevention of struvite recurrence. Where the Virbac HPM Urinary WIB formula provides balanced dual protection against both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals, the Dissolution \u0026amp; Prevention formula is a struvite-targeted clinical diet — more aggressively formulated for urine acidification and mineral restriction to actively dissolve existing struvite deposits and prevent new struvite formation. This is the formula prescribed when struvite crystals have been confirmed by urinalysis or imaging — the clinical diet that works actively to resolve the existing crystal burden while simultaneously preventing recurrence.

Developed by Virbac — one of the world's leading animal health companies — this is clinical nutrition at its most purposeful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"_blockquote_3ycjt_177\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_3ycjt_109\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e⚠️ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrescription diet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This product is formulated for use under veterinary supervision.

Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS is a veterinary-grade keratolytic and antiseborrheic shampoo formulated with three clinically proven active ingredients — sulfur, iodine, and salicylic acid — specifically designed to treat seborrheic skin conditions, excessive scaling, and keratoseborrheic disorders in dogs and cats. Seborrhea is one of the most common and frustrating dermatological conditions in pets — characterized by abnormal skin cell turnover that produces excessive scaling, greasy or dry skin, unpleasant odor, and secondary bacterial and yeast infections. Standard grooming shampoos cannot address seborrhea — the condition requires the specific keratolytic, keratoplastic, and antimicrobial actions that only veterinary-grade active ingredients can provide. Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS delivers all three mechanisms simultaneously — salicylic acid dissolves the bonds between abnormal skin cells, sulfur normalizes skin cell turnover and provides antimicrobial action, and iodine provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage against the bacteria and yeast that colonize seborrheic skin. The result: reduced scaling, normalized skin texture, reduced odor, and a healthier skin barrier — from the veterinary dermatology brand that professionals trust. 250ml — the veterinary shampoo that treats seborrhea at its source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-sebolytic-sis-is-the-best-choice\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_ua7qq_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTriple Active Formula — SIS\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sulfur, Iodine, and Salicylic acid — three clinically proven active ingredients working synergistically to address every aspect of seborrheic skin disease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic Acid — Keratolytic Action\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dissolves the abnormal bonds between hyperkeratotic skin cells — removing scales and allowing normal skin cell turnover to resume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSulfur — Keratoplastic \u0026amp; Antimicrobial\u003c\/strong\u003e — Normalizes the rate of skin cell production (keratoplastic effect) and provides antimicrobial action against the bacteria and yeast that colonize seborrheic skin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIodine — Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial\u003c\/strong\u003e — Provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage against bacteria, yeast (Malassezia), and fungi — addressing the secondary infections that complicate seborrhea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeborrhea Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e — Specifically formulated for seborrheic skin conditions — both seborrhea sicca (dry, flaky) and seborrhea oleosa (greasy, oily).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeratoseborrheic Disorders\u003c\/strong\u003e — Effective for the full spectrum of keratoseborrheic conditions including primary seborrhea, secondary seborrhea, and scaling disorders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOdor Reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e — The antimicrobial action reduces the bacterial and yeast overgrowth that produces the characteristic unpleasant odor of seborrheic skin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Dogs \u0026amp; Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated for use in both species — a versatile veterinary shampoo for multi-pet households.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac — Veterinary Dermatology Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies — the veterinary dermatology brand that professionals trust.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e250ml\u003c\/strong\u003e — A practical clinical shampoo size for ongoing dermatological management.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac SEBOLYTIC SIS bottle with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a well-groomed dog or cat with healthy, scale-free skin — communicating the skin health the shampoo restores.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Seborrhea in Dogs and Cats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Seborrhea is a disorder of keratinization — the process by which skin cells are produced, mature, and shed.

Virbac Pyoderm is a veterinary-grade antibacterial shampoo specifically formulated to treat pyoderma — bacterial skin infections — and associated skin conditions in dogs and cats. Pyoderma is one of the most common dermatological conditions in dogs and a significant cause of skin disease in cats — characterized by bacterial colonization of the skin that produces pustules, papules, crusts, scaling, hair loss, redness, and the characteristic unpleasant odor of infected skin. Standard grooming shampoos cannot treat pyoderma — bacterial skin infections require the specific antibacterial active ingredients that only veterinary-grade shampoos provide. Virbac Pyoderm delivers clinically proven antibacterial action — targeting the bacteria responsible for canine and feline pyoderma, reducing the bacterial burden on infected skin, supporting the resolution of active infections, and preventing recurrence when used as part of a comprehensive dermatological management program. From Virbac — the veterinary dermatology brand that professionals trust worldwide. 250ml — the veterinary antibacterial shampoo that treats pyoderma at its source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-pyoderm-is-the-best-choice\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac Pyoderm Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_ua7qq_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVeterinary Antibacterial Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — Specifically formulated to treat pyoderma and bacterial skin infections — not a general grooming shampoo, but a genuine veterinary antibacterial treatment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChlorhexidine — The Gold Standard Veterinary Antibacterial\u003c\/strong\u003e — Chlorhexidine is the most widely used and most clinically validated antibacterial agent in veterinary dermatology — broad-spectrum, residual activity, and excellent safety profile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroad-Spectrum Antibacterial Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Effective against the primary bacterial pathogens responsible for canine and feline pyoderma — particularly Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, the most common cause of canine pyoderma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Antibacterial Activity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Chlorhexidine binds to skin proteins and maintains antibacterial activity between baths — providing ongoing protection beyond the bathing session.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Decontamination\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reduces the bacterial burden on the skin surface — supporting the resolution of active infections and preventing recolonization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjunctive Therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e — Used alongside systemic antibiotics for moderate to severe pyoderma — topical antibacterial shampoo reduces the bacterial burden and supports faster resolution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonotherapy for Superficial Pyoderma\u003c\/strong\u003e — For mild, superficial pyoderma, topical antibacterial shampoo alone may be sufficient — reducing the need for systemic antibiotics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecurrence Prevention\u003c\/strong\u003e — Regular use as a maintenance shampoo prevents bacterial recolonization in dogs prone to recurrent pyoderma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Dogs \u0026amp; Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated for use in both species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac — Veterinary Dermatology Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: flat-lay of the Virbac Pyoderm bottle with the clinical branding prominent, or lifestyle photo of a healthy dog or cat with clean, infection-free skin.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Pyoderma in Dogs and Cats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pyoderma (from the Greek \"pyo\" = pus, \"derma\" = skin) is a bacterial skin infection — one of the most common dermatological conditions in dogs and a significant cause of skin disease in cats.

Virbac Effipro Spot-On is a veterinary-grade spot-on parasiticide containing fipronil — one of the most clinically proven and widely used active ingredients in flea and tick control — specifically dosed for extra large dogs weighing 40–60kg. Effipro provides fast, effective, and long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks through a single monthly spot-on application — the most convenient and reliable format for parasite prevention in large and extra large breed dogs. Fipronil works by disrupting the nervous system of fleas and ticks — killing existing infestations and preventing reinfestation for up to 4 weeks.

Virbac Effipro Spot-On Small Dogs is a veterinary-grade spot-on parasiticide containing fipronil — precisely dosed for small dogs weighing 4–10kg — providing fast, effective, and long-lasting protection against fleas and ticks through a single monthly application. Small breed dogs are not less susceptible to fleas and ticks than larger breeds — in many ways they are more vulnerable. Their smaller body mass means a flea infestation represents a proportionally greater burden, their lower blood volume makes them more susceptible to flea-induced anemia, and their proximity to the ground during walks increases tick exposure. Fipronil kills fleas within 24–48 hours of contact and ticks within 24–48 hours of attachment, then distributes through the skin's sebaceous glands to maintain whole-body protection for up to 4 weeks.

Virbac Epiotic is the world's most widely used veterinary ear cleaning solution — a clinically proven, non-irritating ear cleaner specifically formulated to clean, dry, deodorize, and maintain the healthy ear environment of dogs and cats. Epiotic is not a treatment for ear infections — it is the preventive and maintenance ear cleaner that removes the wax, debris, and moisture that create the conditions for otitis externa (ear infection) to develop. Regular ear cleaning with Epiotic is the single most effective preventive measure for otitis externa — the most common ear condition in dogs and one of the most frequent reasons for veterinary consultation. Epiotic's unique formulation combines salicylic acid (ceruminolytic — dissolves ear wax), a monosaccharide solution (creates an osmotic environment that draws moisture from the ear canal), and EDTA-Tris (antimicrobial potentiator) — working together to clean the ear canal, reduce moisture, acidify the ear environment, and create conditions unfavorable for bacterial and yeast growth. Gentle enough for regular weekly use. Effective enough to be the ear cleaner that veterinary dermatologists recommend worldwide. 125ml — the ear hygiene solution that prevents the problem before it starts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"why-virbac-epiotic-is-the-best-choice\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Virbac Epiotic Is The Best Choice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_ua7qq_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe World's Most Widely Used Veterinary Ear Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e — Epiotic is the ear cleaning solution that veterinary dermatologists recommend and prescribe more than any other — the clinical gold standard for ear hygiene in dogs and cats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeruminolytic Action\u003c\/strong\u003e — Salicylic acid dissolves and loosens ear wax (cerumen) — allowing it to be flushed out of the ear canal rather than accumulating and creating a substrate for infection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e — The monosaccharide solution creates an osmotic environment that draws moisture from the ear canal — reducing the humidity that bacteria and yeast require to thrive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcidifying Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e — Epiotic acidifies the ear canal environment — creating a pH that is unfavorable for the growth of the bacteria and yeast most commonly responsible for otitis externa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEDTA-Tris — Antimicrobial Potentiator\u003c\/strong\u003e — Enhances the antimicrobial effect of the acidified environment — disrupting bacterial cell walls and increasing susceptibility to the ear's natural defenses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Irritating\u003c\/strong\u003e — Gentle enough for regular weekly use — does not irritate the sensitive skin of the ear canal even with frequent application.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeodorizing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Removes the organic debris and microbial metabolites that produce the characteristic unpleasant odor of dirty or infected ears.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOtitis Prevention\u003c\/strong\u003e — Regular use prevents the wax accumulation, moisture retention, and pH shift that create the conditions for otitis externa to develop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Dogs \u0026amp; Cats\u003c\/strong\u003e — Formulated for use in both species — a versatile veterinary ear cleaner for multi-pet households.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirbac — Veterinary Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — From one of the world's leading animal health companies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e125ml\u003c\/strong\u003e — A practical size for regular maintenance ear cleaning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Visual asset placement: lifestyle photo of a dog or cat having its ears cleaned with Epiotic — communicating the ease and gentleness of the cleaning process — or flat-lay of the Epiotic bottle with the clinical branding prominent.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"_hr_ua7qq_140\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"product-details--features\" class=\"_h2_ua7qq_74\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding Otitis Externa — The Problem Epiotic Prevents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Otitis externa (inflammation and infection of the external ear canal) is one of the most common conditions in dogs — accounting for approximately 10–20% of all veterinary consultations.
