On my hydrogen peroxide?

At the pet store I picked up Jax n Daisy lotion for doggie hot spots - antifungal, antibacterial and it has chlorhexidine gluconate 2% which is an alleged virucidal.

In preliminary research (google), I think this not confirmed. It is bactericidal, though (e coli).

Looks like providine iodine is virucidal, thoigh?
