Hi, my cat has started getting acne in his chin after switching his bowl to a flat type, it's not plastic he's just a messy eater.

My vet recommended benzoyl peroxide for when he gets break outs but for the life of me I can't find anything to get.

Does anyone who has dealt with this issue have a good thing to buy?

Did you try googling "benzoyl peroxide for cats"? I got lots of hits. Or your Vet should actually be able to prescribe it if you'd rather go that route.

I get chlorhexidine wipes - my vet makes them up.

Before that I was using Betadine, but never got clear instructions on diluting it, so wasn't happy with it. Phoebe's less bothered by the wipes, now, though I used cotton swabs before.
