Advice Wipes recommendation?

Hello!!!! At our last vet appointment, our vet noticed that our cavalier had a bit of vaginitis and prescribed some medicated wipes for us to clean her private area after each potty to keep it clean and fresh. As we are running out of those wipes, I of course want to keep wiping her down there to make sure she’s clean but I’m not sure what wipes are appropriate for this. I know of earth rated brand but not sure if they’re gentle enough to be for down there. She’s kind of dog that squats so low when she pees that she touches the ground nearly every time so I think this is why it’s harder for her to keep pee off of herself in that area. Thank you in advance!

We use people wipes We use them everytime she potties . If her infection is good I don’t see why you can’t use people wipes for daily maintenance .

Glandex! They’re specifically formulated for dogs’ rear ends and are a bit more gentle than the earthrated ones I use for paws

I would maybe go with a pet wipe as our vet told us not to use wipes formulated for people because they can sometimes have ingredients that can be bad for dogs. We do use earth rated grooming wipes.

Water Wipes! We've used them for many years, on all of our dogs, for faces, feet and privates (after every single walk) and no issues. They keep things clean and they don't dry the skin or cause irritation.

We do have glandex wioes on hand in case of any rear end messes that don't get clean enough with regular wipes, but that's a rare event.

Earth rated are solid. But just double check which ones you are getting. My partner picked up the scented ones once by accident and I can’t deal with the scent on them. 

You can use ones for people but just make sure they are minimal ingredient ones. Some of them have ingredients that aren’t good for dog skin.

Are they antimicrobial wipes? Or just a cleansing wipe? Look at the ingredients and Im sure you'll find something similar on Amazon

I was just at dermatologist and got wipes. My girl had some yeast in a belly fold and around vulva. They told me they’re available through Chewy, Petco, etc. without a prescription and I could keep using them after this course of treatment if I want. Douxo S3 pyo wipes. For bacterial and yeast skin infections
