For a 2-year period obtained from 248 dogs and 104 cats with clinical signs of dermatophytosis were examined using routine mycological methods. The results were positive for dermatophytes in 32 (12.9%) dogs and 14(13.5%) cats. The animals with confirmed dermatophyte infection were treated according to one out of 4 protocols: oral administration of ketoconazole at a daily dose of 10 mg/kg (n=10); local treatment with 2% Imaverol solution (n=9); vaccinal therapy with Vacderm (n=13) and combination of Vacderm/enilconazole (n=10). The obtained results allowed us to recommend the combination of local treatment with Imaverol and two vaccinations at 14-day intervals for dogs and cats with dermatophytosis.
