Excellent product for many purposes
Verified Purchase

By George Moore on 2 January 2024

I have used Hibiscrub for many purposes where hygiene of the hands, minor injuries and skin infections are concerned. As long as the directions for dilution for the particular situation are followed it works well in ckeaning up the skin and injury site and reduces the risk of infection. It really works.On humans and animals (if they will let you!!).

Hibiwash on 3 month old puppy?

Elle

Hi, my 3 month old cocker spaniel has a large spot with white head on her tummy. She has a vet appointment tomorrow. Is it safe to use diluted Hibiwash on the area in the meantime?

  • VioVet Staff

Hibiwash is advertised as a human product hence we are unable to give you guidance.

Best thing to do is to ask your vet during your appointment tomorrow.

Cat acne

Amanda Hardaker

Is it suitable to treat cat acne on my cats chin

  • VioVet Staff

This can clean and disinfect the area, but it won't treat the acne itself. I would advise you to go to your vet for a checkup on the cat.

Yeasty paws

Kwan

Hi, will this product help getting rid of yeast infections on paws? And is it OK for the dog to lick his paws after application?

Thanks

  • VioVet Staff

This product can be used to clean the skin, treating and preventing bacterial/fungal infections.

It is not intended for ingestion, and while it is effective for cleaning, it can cause gastrointestinal upset, drooling or other adverse effects if ingested by pets. If your dog does lick it, try to monitor them for any unusual signs, such as vomiting, drooling, or diarrhoea. If these symptoms appear, you should seek veterinary advice.

Dog acne on chin

Mike

  • VioVet customer since 2022
  • From: , United Kingdom

Hi my boxer dog suffers from chin acne which was diagnosed by his vet. It comes and goes but has flared up. Would hibiscrub diluted help with his current flare?

  • VioVet Staff

Yes, Hibi scrub diluted 1 part hibi and 4 parts warm water can be used to disinfect the skin and so can help with canine acne. If the acne is sterile in nature then you may not see a resolution by cleaning the skin in this way though, it is recommended to discuss the best treatment plan with your vet.

Hibsrcub for skin fold dermatitis

Jo

Recommend to use hibscrub for skin fold dermatitis on dogs chin , how often should it be cleaned? and how much should it be diluted.

  • VioVet Staff

If you wish to use hibi scrib for skin disinfection, such as cleaning an area of skin fold dermatitis in your dog, then it is recommended to dilute it 1 part hibi in 4 parts warm water. You should use this to clean the area twice daily. It should take 5 to 7 days to clear the average flare up of skin fold dermatitis. If wanting to prevent the issue then once or twice weekly cleaning of the skin folds should help.

Feet chewing and scratching in 'armpit' area

Judy

Hi. I have been recommended Hibiscrub to bathe my dog in. She is chewing her feet, both front and back. She's also scratching round the 'armpit' area and on one side has some little red lumps. Moisturising shampoo hasn't helped, so have been recommended Hibiscrub by a veterinary nurse. What dilution should I use and how often? Thank you!

  • VioVet Staff

Hibi scrub is great when diluted for treating and preventing superficial infections of the skin. It is unlikely to reduce the underlying itch though, I advise discussing how to treat the itch with your vet.
Hibi should be diluted at a rate of 1 part hibi scrub in 4 parts warm water, twice daily is a good frequency to clean the skin with. It needs to be in contact with the area for at least 5 minutes to have a good effect so if wiping areas then leave the hibi on for at least 5 minutes before drying.

Would Hibiscrub help reduce infection in interdigital cysts

Ann

My dog has always suffered interdigital cysts on all paws, which turn into ulcer type formations- at times treated with antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds, would soaking in Hibiscrub help? Or is there something else you would recommend?

  • VioVet Staff

Hibi scrub can be used to treat bacterial/fungal infections on the skin if diluted safely. I recommend discussing any treatment with your vet first, but if wishing to clean an infected area of skin then dilute the hibi scrub 1 part hibi in 4 parts warm water and use to clean the affected area twice daily. If the ulcers are not too deep and it is an infection you are trying to clear then Hibi scrub should help.

Mite infestation

Mary

Is this suitable for a mite infestation in addition to stronghold? My dog is 6 months

  • VioVet Staff

Hibi scrub can be used to clean the skin, treating and preventing bacterial/fungal infections. It should be diluted at 1 part hibi 4 parts warm water for this use. It is unlikely to kill the mites themselves but can clear any debris from dead mites/skin and prevent/treat secondary infecitons caused by the mites. The Stronghold is the main product that will kill the mites specifically.

Human acne

Kim

I read you can use this product for acne-human skin. Is this true? If so how exactly do you use it? Is it a soap/cleanser / does it need rinsing or diluting? Thanks in advance

  • VioVet Staff

Hi Kim,

Hibiscrub is intended to be used diluted, however if you wish to use it on your skin and have concerns about acne, the best thing to do would be to speak to your doctor or a dermatologist who specialises in skin care. There can be many factors involved and you should be able to work with them to identify the cause and help find a solution.

Best wishes,

VioVet
