Dermatophytosis (ringworm), in pets is a skin condition typically cased by fungal infections, more specifically Microsporum canis and Trichophyton sp. Disinfectants, especially sodium hypochlorite (bleach), are commonly used to kill spores not removed during the "hard" cleaning process. Bleach is commonly recommended in the fight against ringworm for its known ability to kill spores. However, it is widely recognized that bleach degrades if not used by the expiry date impacting its efficacy, requires the use of personal protective equipment (as it is a respiratory irritant and can cause damage to the skin and eyes) and has corrosive properties that are known to cause damage to fabrics and surfaces. As a result, a comprehensive analysis was undertaken to determine if Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® (AHP®) would be a suitable alternative to sodium hypochlorite.
