    cyberbob. Yes it is used to "scrub up," and it no shouldn't be allowed to enter any orifice or eyes. It is however, the best for cuts in dogs. Google "hibiscrub for dog wounds." You will see lots of examples and advice from a Darwin Veterinary practice on how to treat dog on dog bite, using hibiscrub with a recommendation to follow up at the Vet.
