FoamCare Medicated Shampoo is indicated for the relief of itchy or dry skin, dermatitis or hot spots. Vetericyn Plus Wound & Skin Care products help aid in proper wound cleansing and wound management.

FoamCare is a liquid substance. We recommend keeping this product indoors and away from freezing temperatures. If FoamCare freezes, allow product to thaw and shake vigorously before using.

Using a formulation that doesn’t match your pet’s coat thickness will not cause any harm or ill reaction to your pet. The different FoamCare shampoo offerings are based on your pet’s hair thickness to help optimize cleansing and rinsing. Most pet owners will want to use the regular Shampoo + Conditioner. The thick coat formula works best on dogs with full, thick coats. If you use a formulation that doesn’t match your pet’s coat you may notice that the shampoo will not lather as well or rinse off as quickly as it would with the correct formualtion.

FoamCare shampoo is best used as sprayed through its trigger system for correct foaming action. We do not recommend decanting the shampoo into other containers. The shampoo is designed to be sprayed through the trigger for optimal coverage and easy application.

Your gut feeling is typically the best choice as pets vary greatly in their individual coat types. Most breeds will fall into the short-to-medium-hair category.

The thick coat formula works best on dogs with full, thick coats.
