Veterinarian Safety Advice

“While Funglow is generally safe, I always recommend clients monitor their pets closely for the first 3 days. If the dog licks the area excessively or shows any changes in behavior, it’s worth re-evaluating the treatment.”
– Dr. Renee Choudhury, Veterinary Dermatologist

Preventing Ingestion & Overuse

Some dogs may lick treated areas, which could result in oral ingestion. This can be problematic especially if using ketoconazole or tea tree oil, which are not safe in large oral doses.

 To prevent licking:

• Use an Elizabethan collar (E-collar).
• Distract the dog for 15–20 minutes after applying.
• Never apply Funglow near the mouth or muzzle.

Helpful Tips for Safe Use

• Monitor the first 3–5 days of treatment closely for any adverse effects.
• Do not apply more frequently than instructed, even if symptoms persist.
• Wash hands thoroughly after application.
• Use gloves for creams or lotions to avoid cross-contamination.

What To Do in Case of Accidental Ingestion or Overdose

1. Call your veterinarian immediately.
2. You may also contact Animal Poison Control or Pet Poison Helpline for emergency advice.

clinical and research evidence

   1.Topical Antifungals: Chlorhexidine ± Miconazole/Ketoconazole

• Yeast counts dropped by ≥88% in ~95% of cases; lesion scores decreased ~73–79%. No significant difference between treatments ﹣ indicating chlorhexidine alone may be as effective as combination therapy ﹣ with few mild side effects reported

2. Systemic Antifungals: Ketoconazole and Terbinafine

• A pilot trial compared oral cephalexin alone, or combined with terbinafine (30 mg/kg once daily) or ketoconazole (5–10 mg/kg twice daily) for 3 weeks in dogs with Malassezia dermatitis. Yeast counts dropped ~87% for terbinafine, ~80% for ketoconazole, but only ~29% for antibiotic alone. Only terbinafine significantly reduced pruritus.
• A retrospective review of 632 dogs given ketoconazole (2.6–33.4 mg/kg) found adverse effects in 14.6%: mainly vomiting (7.1%), anorexia (4.9%), lethargy (1.9%), diarrhea (1.1%), pruritus (0.6%), and erythema (0.3%). Drug interactions (with ciclosporin, ivermectin) increased risk. Rare liver enzyme elevations noted; veterinarians recommend monitoring liver enzymes during treatment.
• In a case report, oral ketoconazole at ~11 mg/kg successfully treated dermatophytosis (Trichophyton mentagrophytes) over 90 days without toxicity — offering a low-cost alternative to other antifungals.

3. Topical Wipes & Pads

• A study using pads with 3% chlorhexidine and Ophytrium (a skin-conditioning agent) achieved cytological normalization in 50% of dogs in 7 days and nearly 89% in 14 days — demonstrating rapid control of Malassezia& bacterial overgrowth.
• A pilot trial of wipes with 0.3% chlorhexidine + 0.5% climbazole + Tris-EDTA was effective at reducing Malassezia pachydermatis counts on canine skin.
