VetBiotek Skincare Solutions for Dogs and Cats

Posted on March 31, 2018 by Holly

The VetBiotek skin care line for dogs and cats offers a variety of topical shampoos, waterless mousse, sprays, wipes, and ear solutions. Designed for antiseptic cleansing, they aid in the treatment of skin and ear infections, seborrhea, allergies, and a variety of other skin conditions. VetBiotek uses a key ingredient called Microsilver BG, a pure microscopic metallic silver that is a natural antimicrobial and penetrates biofilm. Biofilm is a natural slime-like coating that forms a protective barrier over bacteria, yeast, and fungi. This protective layer can make these organisms more resistant because it does not allow antibiotics or medications to get in. The film must be broken in order for the antibiotics to get in do their job, therefore causing them to break down and die. The Microsilver keeps working overtime to help prevent the area from being infected again.

VetBiotek topical products also contain Ceramide III, a skin-identical molecule that helps reinforce the natural skin barrier. Additionally, it discourages the loss of water through the epidermis, the top layer of the skin. VetBiotek shampoos and conditioners also use soap-free formulas

Biohex Shampoo and Wipes

BioHex is an antiseptic and cleansing shampoo. It contains chlorhexidine and miconazole. BioHex Wipes are ideal for skin folds, facial areas, between the toes and footpads, and other sensitive skin areas. Like the shampoo, they contain chlorhexidine and climbazole for an antifungal.

HexaDerm Max Shampoo

HexaDerm Max antibacterial shampoo helps reduce bacteria on the skin that cause skin infections. It contains chlorhexidine, which has a deep cleansing and deodorizing action.

BioSeb Shampoo and Mousse

BioSeb is an antiseptic shampoo that helps reduce excessive oiliness and manage skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis. It works as a degreasing cleanser to help remove scales, crusts, and flakes. BioSeb contains salicylic acid to lift dead skin cells as well as soften skin.

VetBiotek Products Bust Biofilms For Dogs and Cats

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Holly

There’s a buzz in the air about bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics and these things called biofilms… So what is this all about? A biofilm is a collection of organic, inorganic, living, and dead materials collected on a surface. Biofilms can be made of bacteria, yeast, and fungi, which stick themselves together with a slimy substance. Biofilms can be found wherever bacteria like to hang out, like pet bowls, sinks, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. The slime-like substance of a biofilm also acts as a barrier to protect the bacteria, allowing them to grow, reproduce, and thrive on whatever surface they have taken up residence. Learn more about biofilms.

Veterinarians have been on the lookout for these because they are making infections more difficult to get rid of, especially on the skin and ears. The biofilm protects the bacteria or fungus and does not allow antibiotics or medications to get in. The film must be broken in order for the antibiotics to do their job.

VetBiotek & MicroSilver

The VetBiotek line helps bust biofilms and offers a variety of topical shampoos, waterless mousse, sprays, wipes, and ear solutions. They are designed to help with antiseptic cleansing and aid in the treatment of skin and ear infections, seborrhea, allergies, and other skin conditions. VetBiotek uses a key ingredient called Microsilver BG, a pure microscopic metallic silver that acts as a natural antimicrobial. It works to break the biofilm coating, exposing the bacteria, causing them to break down and die. The Microsilver keeps working overtime to prevent bacteria from infecting the area again.
