  ABSTRACT: Superficial microbiota disturbances are common in dogs, with Malassezia pachydermatis yeasts often being involved. Topical products are recommended as a first-line management strategy; however, literature regarding specific topical protocols is still scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a protocol combining chlorhexidine and Ophytrium-containing products in reducing yeast counts in dogs with microscopic evidence of yeast imbalance and dermatological signs. Dogs were shampooed on Day 0 (D0) and then received eight mousse applications at two to three-day intervals. Followed-up parameters on D0, Day 7 (D7), and Day 21 (D21) were microscopic yeast counting, pruritus, and skin irritation scores. At D21, veterinarians’ and owners’ overall assessments were collected. Malassezia pachydermatis counts decreased at D7 (57.3% vs D0, p p p p
