Drying, Deodorizing Shampoo for Kerato-Seborrheic Skin
Product Description
Cutania M-Shampoo by VetNova is a fragrance-free, veterinary-grade dermatological shampoo formulated for dogs, cats, and horses with kerato-seborrheic skin conditions. Its synergistic blend of boric acid, glycolic acid, ceramides, and glycerine delivers keratolytic, lipolytic, drying, and deodorizing action. Antibiotic, azole, phosphate, paraben, and DEA-free, it deeply exfoliates and renews the skin epithelium for short-term and long-term dermatological care.
Benefits
- Keratolytic & Lipolytic Action: Glycolic acid breaks down excess keratin and lipids, helping remove dead skin layers and manage scaling.
- Drying & Deodorizing Effect: Boric acid's acidifying and astringent properties reduce excess moisture and neutralize unpleasant skin odors.
- Ceramide Barrier Restoration: Contains ceramides (phytosphingosine) that restore the epithelium and reinforce the skin's natural barrier function.
- Antibiotic & Azole Free: Free of antibiotics and azoles, this formula actively helps prevent the development of microbial resistance over time.
- Completely Fragrance Free: Unlike many dermatological shampoos, this product is fully fragrance free, reducing the risk of sensitivity reactions.
- Phosphate, Paraben & DEA Free: The formula is free of phosphates, parabens, and DEA, making it safer for pets and gentler on the environment.

How to Use
Directions for Use
- Wet the coat well: Use plenty of water, preferably warm, to fully soak the hair and skin before applying the shampoo.
- Apply and work into the coat: Spread the shampoo evenly and massage it into the hair and down to the skin, paying extra attention to affected areas.
- Leave on for 5–10 minutes: Allow the shampoo to stay on the coat and skin for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing. This gives the ingredients enough time to cleanse the skin and coat effectively.
- Rinse with Warm Water: Rinse completely with plenty of warm water to remove all product residue from the coat and skin.
- Dry & Brush the Coat: After rinsing, dry the animal fully; once completely dry, brush the coat for best results.
- Frequency of Use: Daily use is possible; initial phase requires 2 to 3 times per week until controlled, then 1 time per week for maintenance.

Q2: Is Cutania M-Shampoo safe for both dogs and cats?
Ans: Yes, this dermatological shampoo is formulated for use on dogs, cats, and horses. Its fragrance-free, antibiotic-free, and azole-free formula makes it suitable for multi-species households and for animals with sensitive or kerato-seborrheic skin conditions.
Q3: Why is Cutania M-Shampoo fragrance-free?
Ans: Made without added fragrance, this shampoo is a great choice for pets with sensitive or easily irritated skin. By avoiding unnecessary scents, it helps keep skin care simple and focused on what matters most, supporting a healthy, comfortable skin barrier.
Q4: How long should I leave this shampoo on before rinsing?
Ans: After massaging the shampoo deeply into the skin and coat, allow it to remain in contact for 5 to 10 minutes. This contact time lets the active ingredients to exfoliate the skin and work at greater depth before being rinsed off with abundant warm water.
Q5: How often should I use this shampoo on my pet?
Ans: During the initial phase, use 2 to 3 times per week until the skin condition is controlled. For maintenance, 1 application per week is recommended. Daily use is possible but the frequency should be determined on a case-by-case basis, ideally in consultation with a veterinarian.
Q6: Can Cutania M-Shampoo be combined with other products?
Ans: For enhanced skin support, use with CUTANIA® M-Spray. It helps extend the benefits of the shampoo between baths and provides extra care where needed. Both products are also available together in the CUTANIA® M-Pack for a simple, fragrance-free skin care routine.
Q7: Does this shampoo contain antibiotics or antifungal azoles?
Ans: No, this shampoo is antibiotic and azole-free. This makes it an ideal choice for long-term or maintenance use, as it helps manage keratosis pilaris and seborrheic dermatitis without contributing to antimicrobial or antifungal resistance in pets.
Q8: Should I trim my pet's coat before using this shampoo?
Ans: If your pet has a thick coat or a problem area that needs extra attention, trimming the hair first can help the shampoo reach the skin more easily and work where it's needed most.
