Quick tips
- Before applying Staphban Pet Ointment, gently clean the infected skin with mild soap and water or a vet-approved cleanser, then pat it dry. This helps the medicine work better by removing dirt and bacteria.
- Avoid applying too much, as that will not heal faster and can increase the chance of irritation or other side effects.
- Prevent your pet from often licking or scratching the affected areas. Consider using an Elizabethan collar (cone) or a protective covering for at least 20–30 minutes after applying the medicine.
- Even if your dog’s skin looks better after a few days, do not stop early. Continue treatment for the full period prescribed to prevent the infection from returning.
- Do not apply the medicine inside the eyes, mouth, nose, or ears, and do not use it on large open wounds unless your vet advises it.
- Always wash your hands before and after applying Staphban Pet Ointment to prevent spreading bacteria or contaminating the medicine.

FAQs
What kinds of skin infections in dogs is Staphban Pet Ointment used for?
Staphban Pet Ointment is indicated for the topical treatment of bacterial skin infections in dogs. It is particularly effective against superficial pyoderma, a bacterial infection that affects the upper layers of the skin and hair follicles.
How often and how should I apply it to my dog?
First, gently clean the infected area. Apply a sufficient amount of the medicine to completely cover the lesion twice daily (or as directed by your veterinarian) for the duration prescribed. Do not use it for longer than 30 days unless advised by your vet. If the condition does not improve, contact your veterinarian.
What should I do if my pet licks the treated area?
If your dog licks the treated area, the effectiveness may be reduced. Try to prevent your dog from licking or chewing on the area (for example, by using a cone or protective covering) for at least 20–30 minutes after applying the medicine, so the drug has time to act.
How soon can I expect improvements?
You may start to notice improvement within a few days, such as reduced redness, discharge, or itching.
What if the infection does not get better?
If there is no improvement within 3 to 5 days or if the infection worsens, consult your veterinarian for further evaluation.
Can I use this medicine on deep wounds, burns, or large skin areas?
No. Staphban Pet Ointment is intended only for superficial (surface) skin infections. It should not be applied to deep wounds, burns, or large open areas, as it is not designed for those types of lesions.
Is the medicine safe for pregnant, breeding, or very young animals?
The safety of Staphban Pet Ointment in pregnant or breeding animals has not been established, so it should be used only if clearly needed and prescribed by a veterinarian. For young animals, your veterinarian will determine whether the benefits outweigh any potential risks.
