Hi Dawn, Thank you for such a great question. I had to think about this one, do a little research, as well as talk to one of our vets. I now feel confident that I am prepared to answer. The short answer is "they don't really" because in MOST cases the wipes don't hold enough moisture to penetrate the layers of the cats coat. Keep in mind that a cats coat is comprised of three different layers that has the sole purpose of protecting the cats skin from it's environment. The best way around this would be to use a like waterless shampoo, we usually recommend Earth Bath Green Tea Waterless Foaming Shampoo. They also make a wipe and I have some success removing dandruff at the base of some kitties tails, but the foaming shampoo penetrates much better. Lastly, we use Dermoscent topical solution as more aggressive way to moisturize a cat. Hope this was helpful! Be well!
I was going to say... there's no place here to say THANK YOU!!!! I appreciate your great effort in trying to help me solve my dillema... I guess I'll return the wipes I haven't used yet, and do what you suggest! Once again, a million thanks!!!🙂🙂🙂
I guess it would travel down the hair follicles which would be absorbed by the skin sorry not a vet
