FAQ
What is Leovet Med Wash used for?
It is a mild wash for cleaning very sensitive equine skin, particularly on the lower legs. It removes dirt and incrustations so the skin can regenerate and is often used before applying silver ointment or other first aid products.
Is Med Wash suitable for horses with allergies?
Yes. It is perfume-free, free from essential oils and made with extra mild, soap-free surfactants, which makes it suitable for allergy sufferers and reactive skin.
Can I use it on muddy legs and heels?
Yes. It is designed for the lower legs, so it suits horses whose heels and pasterns need regular, careful washing during wet and muddy conditions.
Will it dry out or irritate the skin?
The wash is pH skin-neutral and soap-free, and it helps restore the skin's natural microbial balance rather than stripping it, so it is gentler than strongly scented shampoos.
How often can I use it?
It can be used as often as the horse's routine requires, provided the legs are rinsed thoroughly and dried properly afterwards. If skin irritation persists or a wound does not improve, consult your veterinary surgeon.
Can it be used on ponies and cobs?
