CLX Cleansing Wipes for Cats and Dogs are convenient dermatological wipes designed to support daily hygiene and help manage skin concerns caused by bacteria and fungi. They are suitable for routine use or as part of a veterinarian-directed skincare plan. CLX wipes are formulated for targeted application on areas that are difficult to clean or prone to irritation, such as paws, skin folds, ears, and minor localised patches of inflamed skin. Their combination of cleansing, moisturising, antibacterial, and antifungal properties makes them useful for maintaining healthy skin in both cats and dogs.
CLX Cleansing Wipes work by apply the active ingredients directly to the skin’s surface, where they assist in removing dirt, debris, and microbes. They contain chlorhexidine, which is widely used in veterinary dermatology for its antibacterial action. Chlorhexidine works by disrupting the membranes of certain bacteria, reducing their ability to multiply. This helps limit bacterial overgrowth on the skin, which is a common underlying factor in many cases of localised irritation.
The wipes also include climbazole, an ingredient with antifungal properties. Climbazole targets yeast and fungi commonly associated with skin discomfort in pets. One of the most frequent fungal organisms affecting dogs and cats is Malassezia, a yeast that thrives in warm, moist environments such as skin folds, between the toes, and around the ears. Excess yeast growth can lead to itching, redness, odour, and greasy patches. Regular use of wipes containing antifungal agents can help reduce the presence of these organisms on the skin.
