Malaseb Pledgets
Submitted by bullyfulbulldogs on October 20, 2010 - 9:17pmAs we all know you can no longer get malaseb pledgets. I am starting to get low on my supply and find myself starting to look for another brand to purchase. Has anyone found one that works equal to the malaseb ones ?? Greatly appreciate your input.... Thanks !
I actually made my own with the help of my vet.
I got a huge bottle of Chlorhexidine Solution off of Amazon diluted it in Distilled Water (2 tbs per gallon of water makes a 2% solution) and pour it over cotton pads in a tupperware container. I use those to wipe out the tail pocket and wrinkles of both dogs. The Chlorhex is about $12.99 a gallon and this will last a very very long time.
Forgot...I know it's not "exactly" the same...
Malaseb has Miconazole Nitrate as well. But the replacement for them is Duoxo wipes which are 3% Chlorhexidine. Additionally, the Malaseb's are not being made anymore so they are going to be hard to find.
Mal-A-Ket wipes?
I never used the Malaseb pledgets, so I can't really speak to how they compare to these, but I have heard of many people who liked them who have replaced them with Mal-A-Ket wipes. I do like the wipes a lot, and you can buy them on Amazon (my vet's office carries them too, but obviously for more money).
