Antifungal in vitro Activity of Essential Oils against Clinical Isolates of <b><i>Malassezia pachydermatis</i></b> from Canine Ears: A Report from a Practice Laboratory

“…They also have behaviour-modulating properties [19,20]. In addition, supplements containing EOs were shown to have a positive effect on atopic dermatitis [21,22], chronic dermatitis [23], pyoderma [24], nasal hyperkeratosis [25], and malodour in dogs [26]. EOs can also be used as ingredients in mouth rinses for their antimicrobial properties [27,28] or in the treatment of abscesses [29].…”

Performance and Tolerance of a Protocol for Idiopathic Chronic Greasy Seborrhea in 18 Dogs Using a Shampoo and Mousse Containing Plant Extracts

“…Plant compounds are very popular in human cosmetics, and some are also incorporated in formulations for animals [ 37 ]. However, few scientific data are available concerning their effectiveness [ 22 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. In the present study, both the shampoo and the mousse formulations contained two ingredients of plant origin: Ophytrium is a specific extract from the tuberous roots of O. japonicus and Seboliance is a specific extract from the peel of P. granatum.…”

Nasal hyperkeratosis in Griffon breeds: Clinical, histopathological features and the prevalence in the Swedish population compared to a control group and other brachycephalic breeds

“…1 In a recently published treatment study of nasal hyperkeratosis, the study group mainly consisted of brachycephalic breeds but due to lack of publications with a control group, the connection between brachycephalic anatomy and nasal hyperkeratosis remains anecdotal. 6 The original purpose of this study was to document the suspected high prevalence and the young age of onset of nasal hyperkeratosis in the GB. However, when analysing the control group data, it became evident that neither the young age of onset nor the high prevalence was unique to the GB, but rather a feature of all brachycephalic dogs.…”

“…Brachycephalic breeds are often considered predisposed to nasal hyperkeratosis presuming due to abnormal anatomy and keratin build‐up; however to our knowledge, this has not been well documented 1 . In a recently published treatment study of nasal hyperkeratosis, the study group mainly consisted of brachycephalic breeds but due to lack of publications with a control group, the connection between brachycephalic anatomy and nasal hyperkeratosis remains anecdotal 6 …”
