When to Use It
Consider the Mal-A-Ket® range for dogs, cats, and horses experiencing:

Greasy, malodorous (smelly) skin and coats

How It Fits Clinically
| Use case | Best Used For | How to Use |
| Shampoo (Active Wash Phase) | Reduces surface microbial load and grease. Suitable for dogs, cats, and horses. | Use 1–2 times weekly during active flares, or as directed by your veterinarian. |
| Spray Conditioner (Leave-On Therapy) | Extends antimicrobial contact time between washes. Perfect for localised lesions and maintenance. | Spray directly onto affected areas between baths, or use when full bathing is impractical. |
| Wipes (Targeted Daily Control) | Ideal for skin folds, paws, ventrum, and localised flare-ups. | Wipe affected areas daily to support long-term management and prevent relapse. |
Veterinary Note: While the shampoo is suitable for dogs, cats, and horses, the spray and wipes are formulated specifically for canine and feline use. Always consult your veterinarian for a tailored treatment plan.
