More about this product

Cavalor Derma Wash is a deep-cleaning shampoo with chlorhexidine for washing horses with flaky skin, dull coats or skin disorders. It is also the ideal shampoo for washing newcomers to the stable.

Cavalor Derma Wash is pH neutral and enhanced with glycerine to moisturise the skin and give your horse a shiny coat. Cavalor Derma Wash can also be used to clean horse rugs, saddle cloths, leather, etc.

For cleaning wounds or genital areas, it is recommended that you first use Cavalor Derma Spray on these areas.

Why chlorhexidine?
Chlorhexidine is generally well tolerated. Unlike other disinfectants (such as iodine), chlorhexidine will not dry out the skin or discolour equine coats. Studies have also shown that chlorhexidine works longer and more extensively.

The ingredients in Cavalor Derma Wash were carefully selected for quality and performance. Certain dyes and soaps can reduce the effectiveness of chlorhexidine. This careful selection of different ingredients is the reason why Cavalor Derma Wash does not foam as richly as other shampoos.

Add a little bit (+- 30 ml) of Cavalor Derma Wash to a bucket of lukewarm water or apply directly with a sponge, either to the whole body or just to the affected area. Allow to soak in, then rinse thoroughly with water.

For preventive use, wash the horse with Cavalor Derma Wash once a month or after close contact with other horses (at yards or on hacks).

Cavalor Derma Wash can also be used to deep clean leather or other tack items.
Use 30 ml of Cavalor Derma Wash instead of detergent in your washing machine to clean textiles.

Use Cavalor Derma Spray to clean wounds or sensitive genital areas.

Warning: For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.

Did you know?

Human skin has a natural acidity of 4.0 – 5.5, but the optimum pH of equine skin is 7.0 – 7.4. The use of products with low pH values (like shampoos for people) will cause moisture to be absorbed from the horse's skin, making it dry and flaky.

Products with high pH values (like strong detergents) absorb the skin's natural sebum, leaving it vulnerable to infections.

What our fans think about our products:

They look and feel their best

The horses need proper nutrition to build muscle and look and feel their best. Strucomix Senior is palatable for my older horses and the Fiberforce is great for my easy keepers. It keeps them trim but provides them with all their nutritional requirements!

Strucomix Sport (Test)

Endurix has made the biggest change in my horse, it has put on the lean muscle that I was trying for. My horses are able to meet their individual nutrition needs with Cavalor, which in turn allows me to make them the best athletes they can be.

Opening the feed is a treat!

Strucomix Senior is so palatable and smells so good I want to eat it! It is a treat just to open the bags in the feed room.

Leslie Terry

A healthy GI system

We feed a lot of Fiberforce as I have lots of ponies and warmbloods all of which travel and compete - the Fiberforce ensures a healthy GI system without added sugars so I can safely feed it to my tiniest ponies and oldest members of the herd.

A satisfying meal

I love Cavalor Silhouette because it allowed my chunky horse to eat more than a handful of pellets, maintain muscle, and still get the required nutrients at a low feeding rate. I chose it for my OTTB to give him a different and more natural feed.

Sarah McClaflin

Perfect!

My 6-year-old mare always had problems in the second test at a competition. Since I’ve been giving her Cavalor An Energy Boost around half an hour before the second test, she hasn’t had any problem managing it. I no longer need to push her as much and I can ride her with very subtle aids.

Sabrina Koster

Dazzling white

If you have a grey horse, you need to spend the whole day before a competition washing him to make sure that he is as clean as possible! I’ve tried everything on him. Somebody gave me the perfect tip. Cavalor Bianco Wash! It seems expensive to buy but you only need a small amount so it lasts forever! And it really works!

Esther Breman

Highly recommended!

Cavalor NutriPlus is the perfect vitamin mix. My two horses and two ponies only get roughage and this vitamin mix. They like the fruity smell and taste and always lick their bowls clean. It’s highly beneficial for the horses and for the owners that these vitamins can be fed in pellet form.

Katrien Poelaert

Delicious products

Cavalor Mash & Mix is my horse’s favourite! I really like it too, because it can be fed wet and dry. It’s ideal for giving a quick warm feed after work.

Jannet Haakman

A massive difference

My mare is a Haflinger-Belgian Warmblood cross and she’s really wild, both to handle and to ride. She’s also half cold blood, so it’s really important that she doesn’t get too much protein. After trying out countless feeds from other brands, I decided on Pianissimo - and it really made a difference.

Charlotte De Beule

The best a horse can get

My horse often suffers from thrush in the winter months. I bought Cavalor Dry Feet on recommendation and I could see a result after just one day. It works really well. Highly recommended! Cavalor Dry Feet is highly recommended if your horse often has soggy hooves!

Youtha Eysackers

The solution for sensitive guts

I’d like to congratulate you on your Fiberforce feed. My horse was very ill and had lost a lot of weight. He’s also very prone to stomach ulcers, so I was looking for an easily digestible feed. I’ve been feeding my horse Cavalor Fiberforce for about a month now and it’s really helped him!

Mieke

The results are incredible!

I was looking for a feed for my 17-year-old mare who needs a low-sugar diet, as she is unable to metabolise the high sugar content of other horse feeds. That’s how I came upon Cavalor Fiberforce. My horse loves this mix and hasn’t had any excess muscle acidity since I started feeding it!

Natascha Rogmans

The ultimate cool-down

I’ve recently been treating my pony with Cavalor Muscle Cooler following intensive training. There’s no doubt that his muscles are less stiff than they used to be after a hard training session. Hot tendons and muscles return to normal body temperature much faster after using the Muscle Cooler.

Marlotte Kaldenberg

A mane to be proud of!

My Friesian's mane is 160 cm long. I care for it with Star Shine to let my superstar shine at every competition, where I always hear lots of “oh’s” and “wow’s” from the spectators.
