Medicated Bathing
A safe and effective way to treat the skin
Medicated bathing for your pet is often recommended, since it is one of the safest and most effective ways to treat the skin. These specialized baths use shampoos with antimicrobial agents, anti-itch ingredients, and moisturizers to help prevent infections, remove allergens, and soothe irritated skin.
The ingredients in medicated shampoos can include antimicrobials, anti-itch agents, and moisturizers, which work together to help prevent infections, remove allergens, and reduce itching. They also help eliminate dandruff, crusts, and allergens while minimizing shedding, calming inflammation, and improving overall skin health—helping your pet feel more comfortable.
At PetDerm, we offer convenient medicated bathing services. Simply drop off your pet for 1-2 hours, and our team will handle the bath and air drying in our warmed kennels. Pricing is based on your pet’s weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
We suggest using luke warm water, not hot water to avoid further irritating or drying out your pet’s skin. Luke warm water can help soothe and clean without causing further discomfort.
Avoid bathing areas with open sores or wounds. Consult your veterinary dermatologist for the best approach to care for these sensitive spots.
We understand that shampoo therapy may not be feasible for every pet owner due to physical limitations, time constraints, or concerns about their pet’s behavior during bath time. These challenges are common and valid. If you have reservations or uncertainties about bathing your dog, please communicate with the PetDerm team about it. PetDerm is here to support you and your pet’s well-being by offering in-house medicated bathing services. Our experienced staff love giving your pet the spa time they deserve!
A consultation with PetDerm’s veterinary dermatologist can help you find the best product for your pet. Through an examination and assessment of symptoms, along with the diagnostics of cytology, they can determine the right combination of ingredients to soothe and repair your pet’s skin barrier.
Medicated shampoos not only cleanse the skin and coat but also contain additional therapeutic ingredients. These may include antimicrobial agents to reduce bacteria and yeast, anti-itch or anti-inflammatory components to improve comfort, moisturizers and emollients to help repair the skin barrier, and anti-seborrheic ingredients to relieve dryness and flakiness.
