Angela from the UK wrote us, “My female 14month old has been suffering from Staph and another bacteria since prob. february and has been mis diagonsed on quite a few occasions.  She has been on antiboitics to kill the bacteria and it has succeeded on one but has left staph behind.  We have had some improvement for the lumps are still there and a few of them breakout in the bleeds and scab over her hair has grown back but you can see the tuffs of fur on her sides where the lumps are she has bald patches on her elbows but generally she is a happy dog.  We are meeting with our vets to discuss the way forward and was wondering with your experience could you maybe shed some light and let us know if you think your product might help us get rid of this staff that been with her for so long.”

It is extremely important to pick the right treatment and follow through. Following through with a pet staph infection treatment is key when battling staph. Staph infection is difficult to get rid because of the infection’s resistant nature. Disinfectanting your pet’s environment and keeping their skin clean and free of debris plays a large role when eliminating pet stap infection.

Staph infections are common bacterial infections of the skin of dogs and cats. They infect the outer skin of the dog as well as the hair follicles of the fur.The direct cause of the infection is a bacteria called Staphylococcus.

How can a dog / cat get Staph infection?

The easiest way for your dog or cat to get a staph infection is from an exposed open wound not properly disinfected or from the result of constant scratching due to ear or mange mites. The insatiable itch your pet feels when they suffer from mange or ear mites can lead to excessive scratching and the dirt and bacteria collected on your pets feet and nails will enter an open wound and lead to staph infection.

Can I prevent my pet from contracting a Staph Infection?

You can take steps to ensure your pet’s environment is properly disinfected and they are bathed regularly with a anti-bacterial pet wash.
