Ringworm is a fungus that is not all that hard to treat if caught in the early stages of first becoming infected. It seems that pet ringworm is the hardest and sometimes the most diffucult to diagnose. Taking your pet to the vet usually make it easier, however some dogs and especially cats can carry the fungus on their fur and you not even know it. Not only do you have to clean and treat your pet but you also have to disinfect your home: furniture, your bedding if your pet sleeps with you, and not to exclude your air filters because the fungus can recirculate in the air ducts. I have included some testimonials from a few Happy Customers that have used our ringworm products on their beloved pets and have gotten exceptional results.

 ”I have purchased and used PetsBestRx ringworm products prior to my current purchase. I have found your products to be very fast and very effective. .I found that using the spray only once daily proved sufficient. I also kept  checking on treated ringworm lesions with a Woods lamp and was amazed that after just one treatment on affected areas the fluoresce of ringworm was greatly diminished, in three days of once daily treatments on young kittens there was no fluorescence, only a clean circle where the ringworm had been. The ringworm has not reappeared again.” -Diane

 ”I am very happy with the service and products I have purchased from you in the past and I’m sure I will continue purchasing your products in the future. Please note that I was extremely satisfied with the cream’s effectiveness and that is why I had ordered more (in case).  I did not need to open the second jar until 2 days ago as I had some left over from the previous order.  As I run a private shelter on my own with 45 plus cats.  I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it highly to anyone. ” – Joanne 

Helping our customers with their ringworm treatment is the most important value that we have here at Q-Based Healthcare.

Ringworm in cats, ringworm in dogs, rabbits or other animal is a fungal infection, not an actual worm. Many pets owners don’t realize what ringworm really looks like and will usally bring their pets to the Vet for diagnosis. Here is more details on how ringworm usally form. They usually appear as a small pimple-like growth that can begin growing into a scaly or crusty, red, raised area that sometimes can cause blisters and pustules. Hair around the ringworm areas can become thin and brittle in turn causing hair loss and bald spots in animals. As the ring start to grows, the center of the rash will usually turn into a more normal skin color, and you will be able to see the ring-shape or almost circular-shape.

Here are some of the most common symptoms of ringworm in animals:
Sometimes a patche of hair loss, matted wools, discoloration, crusty, thick lesion, pustules, thickened, red, oozing skin, if hair growth happened, it might grow back black, scarring can occur, hair becomes brittle, and swollen lesions.

As a CSR at Q-Based Healthcare, it’s very typically to get a call about ringworm in cats and dogs. Most of the customers that have pets with ringworm have either treated with something over-the-counter, an athlete’s foot cream or prescription from the vet. Many found that what they are using is not working or just keeping the ringworm at bay. Some even say the medication that they used caused the ringworm to spread. As I have tried to explain to many customers the medication cannot spread the ringworm, it’s the spores of the ringworms that spread if not treated correctly.
Many people have tried home remedies such as tea tree oil on their cats not knowing that this is very toxic to them. Some use sulfur based products that are made with HARSH yellow (lime) sulfur that STINKS and STAINS. Pet owners are required to use gloves and use in a well ventilated area, (Yellow sulfur is very corrosive to skin and can cause serious injury) it is also not recommend for small animals under 12 weeks of age.

What PetsBestRx use as their treatment is the White sulfur (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane)-it’s safe, non toxic, and non-staining, plus has a pleasant smell to them as well and they do not contain tea tree oil. This method has been proven to be 98% effective. Another product that is used in conjunction as a double protection is our Healing Spray/Infection Protection Gel which has anti-fungal properties to attack many fungal strains deep in the dermal layers. Beside the actual treatment, please remember that the treatment of your environment is also very important to sanitize to eliminates any spores, otherwise, you might constantly have ringworm outbreaks from one pet to another or even yourself. Good Luck!
