Coat, skin & ear appearance
The overall state of your cat's skin, coat, and ears serves as reliable indicators of its well-being. A vibrant and healthy coat is characterized by a shiny and smooth texture. Likewise, a healthy skin is supple, well-hydrated, and free from grease, flakes, or redness. Clear, cerumen-free ears that are neither red nor itchy contribute to a cat's overall health.Several factors influence the appearance and texture of your pet's fur, skin, and ears, both internally and externally:
Inside the body :
Food: Opting for the best nutrition is crucial for your furry companion
Health: Any alterations in your pet's skin or coat appearance may indicate a potential health issue.
Outside the body :
Environmental factors: The external environment is rife with elements that can impact your cat's coat and skin, including allergens, parasites, and microbes.
Grooming: Following a grooming routine aids in detangling the fur and evenly spreading sebum across the entire body.
Skin & ear care: Most cat don’t need a regular skin & ear care routine. Nonetheless, it can be necessary in some circumstances. Cleaning removes dirt and debris, facilitating detangling while providing essential ingredients for a lustrous coat and skin protection against external aggressions.

What products to use?
The choice of products for your cat depends on its specific condition and requirements. It is essential to assess your pet’s skin and coat needs to determine the most appropriate plan and the products to be used.
Bath time
When it comes to bathing your cat, if it is necessary, using products specifically formulated for their needs is crucial. Regular human shampoos are unsuitable for dogs and cats due to differences in skin pH levels and the presence of additives that can irritate their skin. While baby shampoo may serve as a temporary alternative, it is designed for human skin and should not be a long-term solution. For a convenient and effective bathing solution, specifically-adjusted products such as DOUXO® S3 Shampoo is recommended. Formulated to be very safe, they are well-tolerated in cats. DOUXO® S3 is free from soap, sulfate, paraben, colorant, phthalates, nanoparticles, and silicones, making it a gentle option for maintaining your cat's skin health and bring active ingredients if you are using a medicated shampoo.
Additionnal skin and coat care
Shampooing a cat is not always easy or pleasant for both the cat and the owner.
When a refresh is needed, DOUXO® SPA Low-stress refresh Leave-On Mousse is a great solution. It’s a safe, easy-to-use formula that keeps your cat clean, soft, and smelling fresh without water.
In case of skin issues, the relaxing massage application of DOUXO® S3 Mousse is highly enjoyable for the cat, promoting frequent use and leaving the coat soft and shiny. Its leave-on formula ensures a prolonged direct contact of ingredients with the skin, optimizing performance for medicated solutions.
A full body care isn’t always needed to keep your cat clean, especially when they’re not fully dirty but just need a quick / localised cleaning. DOUXO® SPA Multipurpose Wipes offer a fast, gentle solution. They’re easy to use, effective, and a great way to maintain your pet’s hygiene while strengthening your bond with them.
For skin issues that affect only small areas, a full bath isn’t necessary. In these cases, Pads are a convenient option to target specific spots, removing germs and allergens while delivering active ingredients where needed. This is helpful for treating conditions like microbial or yeast imbalances or irritation from allergies.
Skin disorders don’t always affect large body areas; sometimes, they are limited to small areas, and a full bath may not be necessary. In such cases, the convenient use of DOUXO® S3 Pads formulation allows for the targeted removal of germs and allergens, bringing active ingredients only where necessary. This is particularly useful for issues like microbial or yeast imbalance or irritated areas in the case of allergic disorders.
Ear care
Some cats naturally produce more ear wax than others and may require ear cleaning. While most cats’ ears maintain good hygiene on their own, others can develop waxy or yellowish discharge due to ear mites, infections, polyps, or foreign bodies. If you notice ear discharge, it's important to consult a vet, as it may need more than just cleaning. Also, if your cat shows signs of imbalance, head tilting, or walking in circles, seek veterinary care instead of cleaning their ears, as this could indicate a middle ear issue
