Follow the directions given by the veterinarian for using Spick & Span (Miconazole Nitrate/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) to get the best results. It is applied while bathing your pet typically twice a week, but the animal`s particular regimen will be based on its health, symptoms, and response to other treatments. To use the shampoo, wet the pet`s hair, put a small amount of shampoo on the skin, rub it to form lather and spread it evenly all over the body. Allow the medicine to soak for ten minutes before rinsing it off to let it be absorbed into the skin. Keep the shampoo away from the animal`s eyes, ears, mouth, or other mucous membranes as this may cause complications. It is also advised to apply the medication on a regular schedule to get the most efficient use by keeping a consistent level of medicine on the skin at all times.

Bring your pet in for regular medical check-ups to make sure it is experiencing the desired results. After monitoring its progress and response to medication, it may be necessary to change its frequency of administration or other adjustments to the regimen until the best effects occur. If you have any questions about the use of the shampoo, ask the veterinarian or pharmacist to make sure you are using it correctly.
