dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to: (1) evaluate the stability of kakawate and citronella oil extract soap in terms of physical, chemical, and microbiological properties, (2) assess the demographic profile of dog owners, (3) determine the soap's acceptability and effectiveness for treating sarcoptic and demodectic mange in dogs, and (4) perform a cost analysis of the soap. Experimental research design was used to evaluate the stability of the soap using three (3) soap replicates. Descriptive research design was used to assess the demographic profile, acceptability and efficacy of the soap gathered from thirty (30) dogs randomly selected. The collected data were tabulated, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The soap remained stable physically and chemically with no microbial growth. The demographic profile showed that fifty percent (50%) were female. The soap was highly rated for its characteristics and effectiveness in managing external parasites. Efficacy suggests that the soap is effective. Cost analysis suggests high profitability.
